Your mind/body constitution- The Ayurvedic View

According to Ayurveda, each of us inherits a unique proportion of threemind/body principles which creates our specific mental and physical characteristics. These mind/body principles are called doshas. Most of us have one or two doshas which are most lively in our nature, with the remaining one(s) less significant. The three doshas are known as: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.

Using the principles of Ayuveda, we can identify our mind/body nature and use this understanding to make the most nourishing choices. Take a few minutes to complete the following questionnaire, rating each statement as to how well it applies to you over the past year. Fill in each box with a number from 1 to 5, representing how much the statement applies to you:

Not at all.
A Little.
Somewhat.
A Lot.
Very much.
There are 3 sections of the test, one for each dosha. At the end of each section, your score adds up automatically. You can use Tab and Shift-Tab to move from question to question, and type the value of your answer (1 to 5) in each box.
