Ready to Discover Your Unique Doshic Make-up? Take Our Quiz!
To understand what the doshas mean to you, you need to understand the term "Prakriti" (Sanskrit: प्रकृति). Prakriti is the Sanskrit word translated as "principal/root creation" which in Ayurveda means your original constitution. A person's constitution is made up of all three doshas - Vata, Pitta, Kapha, to varying degrees.
These three doshas are comprised of a combination of the five elements:
Space+ Air (Vata), Fire+ Water (Pitta), Earth + Water (Kapha).
Diet, lifestyle, Spirituality, Epigenetics, Environmental Factors etc... affect our state of being and create imbalances in the physiology. We call this imbalanced state, "Vikriti". In order to correctly bring a person in alignment with their Prakriti, which promotes optimal health, it is important to understand both their Prakriti and Virkriti. The quiz below will help identify in 8 short questions what your unique constitutional make-up is and provide a customized Prakriti report based on your predominant doshas. Remember that when you are in an imbalanced state, an Ayurvedic Practitioner will address any imbalances to realign your doshas by creating a treatment plan tailored specifically for you! This approach naturally helps to prevent, manage, treat and reverse a variety of ailments and my specialty, complex chronic illness.
