Ayurveda is the ancient Indian system of medicine. In Ayurveda, there are three constitutional types (called doshas). These are called Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Knowing which type you are allows you to change your diet and your lifestyle to help to decreased the dosha that is in excess and in doing so, improve your health and wellbeing. Which type are you? Basically, Vata types are cold, dry and underweight, Pitta types are hot, fiery, irritable, burning and Kapha types are large, slow and damp. There are many quick tests that you can do to determine which is your predominant dosha.
