Pitta | Fire + Water

Pitta is the dosha of fire and water — heat, precision, intensity, transformation. Pitta types tend toward a scalp that runs hot, hair that thins at the hairline under pressure, and a follicle environment that becomes inflammatory when life gets too full. Stress-linked hair loss is almost always a Pitta pattern — so is the oxidative damage summer leaves behind. When Pitta is out of balance, the solution is cooling and recovery: reducing the heat load on the follicle, replenishing what stress depleted, restoring circulation. The ARCIS Pitta formula is built around bhringraj and coconut oil, with spirulina for mineral replenishment, rosemary for scalp circulation, and a cooling arc of jasmine, lavender, and sandalwood.
