Balancing Doshas?

[kambo1988]

My Prakruti is: Vata, 40; Pitta, 40; and Kapha 21.

My Vikruti is: Vata, 41; Pitta, 23; and Kapha, 36.

I have done a lot of research and cannot seem to find out how I go about restoring my current constitution to my Prakruti. From what I understand, I am supposed to be working to get Pitta up to 40 and Kapha down to the low 20 range, correct? But How do I do this? Do I just eat for a vata type?

Any help you can give me would be extremely appreciated!!!!!

Thank you, Jacob

Hi Jacob,

It appears, according to your assessment - that vata is balanced and kapha is increased. It's not common to have pitta be so decreased and often pitta becomes more aggravated than decreased [unless - critical conditions]. That said, kapha is primarily made of earth and water therefore can lead to impaired [slow,sluggish] digestion, weight gain and even edema. If this sounds to be your situation then Therefore, management for kapha types is centered around:

Warming
Drying
Lightening

Management of The Overly Comfortable Kapha Types:
Kapha types often are most balanced by pungent, bitter, and astringent tastes as these tastes are considered to be drying and lightening in nature with catabolic actions.
