Free Dosha Quiz: Find Your Ayurvedic Body Type

Are You Vata, Pitta or Kapha?

This free dosha quiz will help you determine your ayurvedic body type, whether Vata, Pitta or Kapha. Ayurveda recognizes three body types, called doshas. They are Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Each of these doshic body types uses metabolic energy in a unique way. Vata spends energy. Pitta manages it. Kapha stores it. Your body type effects your physical constitution, psychology and way of thinking. Each body type tends to characteristic imbalances as well.

Once you know your dosha, this website helps you balance your unique body type with food, herbs, and lifestyle suggestions! When you are done with this quiz you will be taken to a results page where you can view your doshas, see the diet for your body type, and see product recommendations matching your body type. This test will take approximately four minutes to fill.


Please choose the answers that most accurately fit your body for most of your life.
