Which Ayurvedic dosha (body type) are you? Vata, Pitta or Kapha?

This dosha quiz will help you determine your ayurvedic body type. The three body types, also called doshas, are Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.

Your doshic body type affects your physical constitution as well as your psychology and way of thinking. Knowing your body type helps you predict imbalances, prevent disease, and maintain optimal metabolic performance.

Each body type influences your metabolism uniquely. Vata uses up energy. Pitta directs it. Kapha stores it.

Once you have taken the dosha quiz, this website will show you which foods, herbs, and lifestyle suggestions are a unique fit to balance your metabolic tendencies.
