Pitta Churna

Ancient Origin: 5,000 years ago in Sanskrit text Charaka Samhita & Ashtanga Hridayam

From the searing sun of high summer to the inner fire that burns too bright, Pitta governs heat, intensity, and transformation.

When in balance, it brings clarity, focus, and leadership. When in excess, it scorches.

Pitta Churna was born to temper this flame—not extinguish it, but cradle it.

A blend used for centuries to cool the blood, calm the mind, and soothe the fire that devours from within.
