Ayurveda • Online Dosha Test

In Ayurveda “dosha” means the natural and original energetic type of every man. Dosha is divided into three kinds: Pitta, Kapha, Vata. Each of them is characterised by different psychological and physical features, dynamics of metabolism or body tolerance for external factors such as weather, occupation or relationship with other people. Depending on the intensity of those features, either one type of dosha or a combination of them will dominate in a human body. Prevalence of two doshas is called “dual dosha”. The most balanced and favourable type is “tri dosha”, where all three kinds are present in more less equal proportions. Based on your dosha type, Ayurveda explains how to keep your individual balance to enrich your health, wellbeing and allow you to live in harmony with nature.
