Answering the question “What’s my dosha?” can help determine the best path, diet and activities to help you find balance. Take this quiz to find your dosha!

The foundation for Ayurvedic medicine recognizes that each individual is different and thus offers a very unique approach to health and wellbeing. Offering a true holistic mind-body approach, the knowledge of Ayurveda stems from the five elements of ether, air, fire, water, and earth; which are found within the external environment and also within human physiology.

The five elements come together to form the three doshas. The doshas are types of energies that are found in the body and in the environment. The three doshas are vata, pitta, and kapha.

Each dosha has different qualities associated with it. All of these qualities can be seen within the various functions of the human body. The health of your skin, hair, digestive system, nervous system, energy levels, and so much more is all governed by the doshas.
