Ayurvedic type

In Ayurveda, the five elements of space, air, Earth, fire and water are all in the universe, including the human body. These elements are combined to create three different types of constitutional or doshas called Vata, Pitta and Kapha.

If the air and space have been the predominant energies present in your birth you are Vata in nature, if the water and the Earth were predominant, you are Kapha and if the fire and water were predominant you are Pitta.

Knowing your dosha can you help to understand what activities, food and lifestyle elements can support and promote your health and causing the imbalance.

The most accurate way of your learning constitution is an Ayurvedic physician. He or she may conduct a physical examination, including assessment of the pulse and can tell you what your dosha is and provide specific recommendations. Many people is a combination of two doshas.
