Are you Vata, Pitta or Kapha?

The following simple "test" may give some idea of the psychophysiological body type you have. Remember that you are a mixture of all three, but while all three are active within us, it's one or two that dominate. Your constitution can be more accurately determined by means of pulse diagnosis.

Many of our products come in three varieties for Vata, Pitta and Kapha. You choose the type that matches your needs. As an example, if you get high scores for Vata, you should select products to keep Vata in balance. If the scores for Pitta are about as high, you should balance both Vata and Pitta. In rare cases, when all three doshas have received the same score, one must take into account the season.
In cold, dry weather you balance Vata; during hot weather you balance Pitta, and when cold and damp you balance Kapha.

At a personal consultation, Veda Lila’s health consultants use pulse diagnosis among other methods, to determine your body type and any imbalances, and to provide health advice directly tailored to your needs.
