Under Ayurveda, Anger and hostility are symptoms of imbalance in the nervous system. It is required for proper understanding and judgment, but when the body is disturbed or out of balance, it leads to misunderstanding and incorrect judgment, which leads to anger and hostility. The goal is to restore the pitta to its normal constitutional function.
Here are some simple home remedies for cooling down that hot pitta and keeping tempers in check.
