Guest guest Posted January 10, 2003 Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 Sat Nam, In regards to the question about Ayurvedic constitutions, it is generally assumed that a difference of less than 10 could possibly be bi-doshic. It is always best to check with an Ayurvedic Practitioner or Doctor as the quick analysis in Dr. Frawley's book is only a guide. You seem to have Kapha characteristics (teeth, bone structure) that as you pointed out do not change over time, that is your Prakriti. When a person's dosha is in imbalance the practitioner looks more closely at the body structure, eye color, hair type, etc. So based on that I would guess that you are Pitta/Kapha which would also explain feeling better with spicy foods. The imbalances can also move out of the respective site and dosha's and take on a different dosha site. That is your Pitta nature may be suppressed and Kapha (out of balance) leading; hence the feeling of the spicy foods pacifying the imbalance. The analysis of a practitioner or a more detailed analysis than the one presented in Dr. Frawley's book may tell you more. Dr. Frawley has many other detailed books on the wonderful science of Ayurveda. The best of health to you! Namaste, Rebecca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
