Guest guest Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 I just took a test online and it determined I have a kapha imbalance. The symptoms sound like me though I am a high pitta. Is it possible to have a kapha imbalance even though I am a pitta? Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Yes - our constitution or dosha type and any imbalances or vkritis can be different. We have aspects of all three qualities within. _______________ Is it possible to have a kapha imbalance even though I am a pitta? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Yes Debra! If I am reading you right… It sounds like you have a Pitta Prakriti {primordial Natural} with a kapha Vikriti {imbalance} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The > symptoms sound like me though I am a high pitta. > Is it possible to have a kapha imbalance even though I am a pitta? _____ It is difficult to find a person suffering from unbalance of one dosha alone. In our minds, water and fire can not coexist together, but in ayurvedic classification of vikruti, any two doshas can exist together in unblanced state. several online questionaires produce different numbers depending on the source. The addition of the practitioners using modern tests stretches ayurveda to its modern limit of misunderstanding. Ayurveda is not a science of number, but a science using fuzzy logic, cognitive intelligence, and most importantly, common sense. Where these essential attributes are not recognized, the cure becomes difficult. Several messages in the list where ayurvedic doctors failed to meet expectations of their patients are pointers to this principle. As stated by the member posting message 14430, considerable confusion exists. Only the pulse gives some guidance to the serious practitioner. please visit: ayurveda/message/14430 Dr Bhate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 If this helps, I am Fire Dominant, follow by Water. Sag Sun, Aries Ascendant, Cancer Moon, Mars in Leo. Other planets in water signs as well. ___________ several online questionaires produce different numbers depending on the source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Yeah, which means I should follow a Kapha diet, right? When will I know it is okay to change back to Pitta diet? _____________________ Yes Debra! If I am reading you right.
