Find Your Dosha - The Test

Once an imbalance occurs, physical ailments of all kinds become more apparent. These ailments can range from minor restlessness to more serious illnesses.

Vata is categorized as "nerve energy". In Ayurveda, it symbolizes the principle of movement in our body. It is formed by the elements of air and ether. Vata incorporates the movements of breathing, heart and digestion. The nervous system, musculoskeletal system and immunity belong to this elemental substance.

Pitta is referred to an the inner fire and thus associated with the fire element. Pitta doshas control digestion, metabolism and energy production, as well as being resonsible for intelligence and mental abilities.
