I'm Vata and my Pitta has increased. What's the best way to address the Pitta dosha without impacting my primary Vata dosha?

Joy

i am a Pitta with a vata mind. My daughter is a kapha. I need ideas on how to relate to her and understand her.

denise

i'm kapha body but vata mind. i'd love to read what's good for me.

leslie

i just "discovered my dosha" and I am equally vata pitta and kapha...is that rare? I'm guessing that this is a good thing.

Jenay

I too have a Pitta body but a vata mind... How would I handle that?.... Because the light, boney Vata can eat the heavy foods but although that would settle my anxiety it would add to weight gain for me because my body is a Pitta....

Anna

I too have tested to have a kapha body but a pitta mind. Haven't seen much to adress that side of when to eat what?

That would be very nice to read about

karen

I have a pitta mind (firey) and a Kapha body
by nature (slow metabolism low blood pressure)

What foods work best?

Explain further the three doshas and their inter-action with specific foods.

You suggest a blanace in all three food categories? what about those (not myself)
who are over weight

Janie

Inaccurate information. Vata constitution can have spicy foods and hot foods. Katja Patel's comment on pitta is correct as well. This article should be corrected as it is very misleading.

veronica

jude

i need a reminder abt pita, etc. body types please.
