    Default Ayurveda - your dosha test

    https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/prakriti-quiz/

    Vata
    Composed of air and space, vata is dry, light, cold, rough, subtle/pervasive, mobile, and clear. As such, vata regulates the principle of movement. Any bodily motion—chewing, swallowing, nerve impulses, breathing, muscle movements, thinking, peristalsis, bowel movements, urination, menstruation—requires balanced vata. When vata is out of balance, any number of these movements may be deleteriously affected.

    Pitta

    Pitta brings forth the qualities of fire and water. It is sharp, penetrating, hot, light, liquid, mobile, and oily. Pitta’s domain is the principal of transformation. Just as fire transforms anything it touches, pitta is in play any time the body converts or processes something. So pitta oversees digestion, metabolism, temperature maintenance, sensory perception, and comprehension. Imbalanced pitta can lead to sharpness and inflammation in these areas in particular.

    Kapha

    Kapha, composed of earth and water, is heavy, cold, dull, oily, smooth, dense, soft, static, liquid, cloudy, hard, and gross (in the sense of dense or thick). As kapha governs stability and structure, it forms the substance of the human body, from the skeleton to various organs to the fatty molecules (lipids) that support the body. An excess of kapha leads to an overabundance of density, heaviness, and excess in the body.


    My thoughts/observations:
    Vata = ecto
    Pitta = meso
    Kapha = endo

    I also have a bunch of other thoughts but I am lazy to expose them.

    PS tested Vata Pitta, still
    On French test:
    VATA 29%
    PITTA 48%
    Kapha 24%


    2nd test got Pitta Kapha

    None of the tests seem to agree on anything but Pitta, so I guess that must be the most dominant one or I'm just really bad at taking these tests lol.

    I got Pitta-Kapha in the first test.

    Vata 5%
    Pitta 58%
    Kapha 37%

    The result fits my somatotype (Meso-Endo).

    The question is, do the food recommendations for the types actually work?

    Has anyone tried them before...?

    i have tried adjusting a few things based on food recommendations over time. it's more of a gradual thing for me though.

    for me having "cooling" foods does seem to help me, but i don't want to be cool hah,
