Check
Your Dosha |
From
the Ayurvedic perspective, the first step in treatment is
to ascertain the natural constitution of the individual
according to the predominant dosha as Vata, Pitta, or Kapha.
The predominant dosha, in turn, reflects the main energies
and qualities within the individual and their tendencies
to either health or disease.

Some
individuals are strongly predominant in one dosha or another. These
we might call pure Vata (pure air), pure Pitta (pure fire) and pure
Kapha (pure water) types. Mixed types also exist, when two or more
dosha stand in relatively equal proportion. Threee different dual
types exist as Vata-Pitta (air-fire), Vata-Kapha (air-water) and
Pitta-Kapha (fire-water).
The dosha that you check most will usually indicate your predominant
dosha generally speaking, we know ourselves well enough to determine
our Ayurvedic constitution. The natural constitution is most easily
revealed by the fixed attributes of the physical body like frame,
weight and complexion. Life-long habits and proclivities, and life-long
disease tendency are also important. |
