Answer 8 quick questions about your body and mind to discover your Vata-Pitta-Kapha constitution.
Governs movement — circulation, breathing, nerve impulses. Vata types are typically quick, creative and energetic, but prone to anxiety and dryness when imbalanced.
Governs transformation — digestion and metabolism. Pitta types are typically focused and driven, but prone to irritability and inflammation when imbalanced.
Governs structure — stability and lubrication. Kapha types are typically calm and strong, but prone to sluggishness and weight gain when imbalanced.
In Ayurveda, doshas (Vata, Pitta and Kapha) are three functional energies thought to govern movement, transformation and structure in the body. Most people have one or two that dominate their constitution.
A quiz gives a useful starting point based on your answers, but it is not a diagnosis. An Ayurvedic doctor assesses pulse, history and current imbalance to confirm your constitution.
Use the result to guide food and routine choices, try the Dosha Food Checker, and book a consultation if you want a plan for a specific health concern.
Your basic constitution is considered stable, but your current balance changes with season, age, diet and stress.
