What is dosha

VATA PITTA KAPHA - दोष "Dosha”

Before we know our skin type, we must first understand the body's metabolic elements दोष "Dosha."

How to identify your dosha type? In Ayur, bodily humour, three main metabolic types make up a person's constitution. These are called "doshas," the essential forces behind any living being's physical, mental, and emotional expression. The doshas are three called "Vata," "Pitta," and "Kapha."

Vata

The Vata dosha is a blend of air and space. Vata people are creative, active, and changeable. They're always on the go! They may take on many different activities and tire easily, requiring much sleep. They are physically Angular, slim or lean, long-limbed, and may have dry skin. They may not be interested in eating properly. They are also "idea people," with creative problem-solving skills and unique solutions. Imbalance in Vata can result in excess anxiety, confusion, nervous energy and fear. The physical results are insomnia, gas, constipation and poor bodily circulations.

Pitta

The Pitta dosha is combined with fire and water. They are competitive, driven and find perfection in everything and the qualities of a teammate! However, they can behave overly aggressive & jealous. They are physically muscular and strong with warm hands. They are very dependable on appetites. Because of the fire in this dosha, Pitta individuals tend to have high temperatures and are sensitive to direct heat & sunlight. An increase in Pitta can cause anger and a high temper. The imbalance in Pitta shows physical signs they are acne, cold sores, ulcers, indigestion, and skin irritations.

Kapha

The Kapha dosha is a blend of water and earth. They are calm, kind and caring. They're the ones who are always empathic. They can be lazy as well as over-attachment with people. Other things like moving slowly and excellent memory are other noticeable characteristics. They are big-boned and amply built, with large, soft eyes and always having cool hands. They love food, but they can manage long without food. Imbalanced Kapha shows depression, withdrawal and reclusive tendencies. Physically, this can lead to gaining more weight, lethargy, and excess mucus — resulting in coughs, sinus infections, and other congestion-related disorders.

We can figure out your dosha by looking into our physical & mental characteristics, personality traits, food & activity, and mind & emotions. In this, we have to look up 36 factors.
