Dosha Test

Find out how your inner balance works with the Dosha test

Which Ayurveda type are you?

Do you sometimes feel that your body reacts differently than your head expects?
The Dosha test gives you a fascinating insight into your inner balance. Instead of blanket recommendations, you get insights that really suit you. Because in Ayurveda, healing begins with understanding - and with the knowledge of what strengthens you.

Your introduction to the world of doshas

Ayurveda is not about pigeonholing, but about understanding.
Each of us carries the three bioenergies Vata (movement), Pitta (transformation) and Kapha (structure) - just in different forms. This combination determines how you think, feel and regenerate.

Find out with the Mandira Dosha test:

Which dosha dominates in you,
where any imbalances lie,
and how you can bring your body and mind back into balance.

So you recognize the connections between your constitution and issues such as energy, sleep, digestion and mood - and can address them specifically.

What your result reveals

Vata, Pitta or Kapha - there is far more behind these terms than just a type classification. Each dosha brings with it certain physical, mental and emotional characteristics that shape your constitution and influence your daily experience.

After the test, you will receive your detailed evaluation and a personal treatment recommendation from the Ayurveda Resort Mandira - tailored to your type and your needs.

The following overview shows you how the three doshas manifest themselves in key areas of life:

Whether it's your stature, digestion, sleep or reaction to stress: each dosha has a different effect. If you know your test result, you will better understand how your Ayurveda type affects you in everyday life - physically, mentally and emotionally. This allows you to categorize your test results and better understand what their individual composition means in everyday life.

KAPHA

Kapha (earth, water) is the principle of stability and stands for calm and serenity. Kapha is responsible for strong immune defenses and provides spiritual and mental strength.

Build: strong, solid, heavy
Skin: oily, smooth, cool
Hunger: constant, can skip meals
Stress response: withdrawal, sluggishness
sleep: deep, sometimes too much
effect of excess: sluggishness, overweight

PITTA

Pitta (fire, water) is the principle of transformation and stands for energy and courage. Pitta regulates the breakdown processes in the body (metabolism, energy production).

Build: medium, muscular, athletic
Skin: warm, reddish, sensitive
Hunger: strong, cannot fail
Stress reaction: Anger, frustration
Sleep: medium, but restful
Effect of excess: inflammation, irritability

VATA

Vata (air, ether) is the principle of movement and stands for lightness and flexibility. Vata regulates the activities in the body (breathing, circulation, nerve impulses).

Build: slender, light, bony
Skin: dry, rough, cool
Hunger: irregular, changeable
Stress response: anxiety, nervousness
Sleep: light, often interrupted
Effect of excess: nervousness, restlessness

Recognizing imbalances in your constitution

Your basic constitution - called Prakriti in Ayurveda - remains largely stable throughout your life. However, your current state (vikriti) can change due to external influences, diet or lifestyle.
Dosha imbalances occur when one of your doshas - vata, pitta or kapha - is too strong or too weak. A good Ayurveda dosha test not only shows you your basic constitution, but also current imbalances and helps you to find your natural balance again.

Signs of dosha imbalances can include:

Vata imbalances: dryness, sensitivity to cold, nervousness, sleep problems, irregular digestion
Pitta imbalances: Sensations of heat, inflammation, irritability, excessive ambition, acid regurgitation
Kapha disturbances: Heaviness, sluggishness, listlessness, weight gain, mucus

Recognizing dosha disturbances is the first step towards restoring balance. Targeted measures such as an adapted diet, herbal treatments and lifestyle changes can correct imbalances and restore health

"In order to really balance myself, I first had to understand how my system works. The realization that I am a Vata-Pitta type was a real eye-opener - not only for my diet, but also in sports. I now know intuitively what is good for me - and what is not."

How the Dosha test supports your Ayurveda treatment

A well-founded Dosha test is the basis of every successful Ayurveda treatment. It shows how your individual energies interact - and where they need support. At the Ayurveda Resort Mandira, every treatment begins with a personal anamnesis and a detailed dosha test. Our Ayurveda doctors analyze not only physical characteristics, but also emotional and mental patterns. This creates your individual treatment plan - tailored to your constitution. From massage oils and nutrition to yoga and meditation recommendations: Every measure supports your balance.

Even after your cure, the Dosha test remains valuable. With the knowledge of your type, you can eat, live and regenerate in a dosha-friendly way at home - and thus sustainably deepen the effect of your cure.
