Dosha
Test

Which Dosha Type are you?

In the ancient Ayurvedic tradition, three Doshas (life energies) are distinguished. Each of these Doshas is composed of two of the five basic elements (air, ether, fire, water, earth):
Kapha Dosha Typ
KAPHA
Kapha (earth, water) represents the principle of stability and embodies calmness and tranquility. Kapha is responsible for a strong immune defense and provides mental and emotional strength. An excess of Kapha can lead to lethargy and weight gain.
Pitta Dosha Typ
Pitta
Pitta (fire, water) represents the principle of transformation and embodies energy and courage. Pitta regulates the body's processes of breakdown (metabolism, energy production). An excess of Pitta can cause inflammation and irritability.
Vata Dosha Typ
Vata
Vata (air, ether) represents the principle of movement and embodies lightness and flexibility. Vata regulates bodily activities such as breathing, circulation, and nerve impulses. An excess of Vata can lead to nervousness and restlessness.

It is believed that all three energies are present in every person, with one being the most dominant from birth. Factors influencing this include the constitution of the parents and embryonic development. Sometimes, the individual balance of the Doshas can be disrupted by stress, poor diet, or an unhealthy lifestyle. Knowing your constitution type allows you to take simple measures to restore balance and harmony among the Doshas.

To determine your Dosha, simply answer the following questions in the Ayurveda self-test. Multiple answers are possible. At the end of the page, you can read about what the results mean for you and what you should pay attention to in the future.

VATA, PITTA, OR KAPHA?
Explained in Detail

From the Dosha test, you now know your dominant life energy. The next step is to adopt a lifestyle that aligns with your Dosha type. When your Doshas become imbalanced, various symptoms can develop, depending on which Dosha is in excess. By applying specific Ayurvedic measures, you can restore balance and promote the healthy development of both body and mind. Sometimes, the Ayurveda type test does not yield a clear result. In such cases, two Doshas may be dominant, or one may be in excess while a second is close behind. If the Dosha test produces such a result, you are a constitution type with two dominant Doshas. Here are our tips for all possible combinations:
