Ayurvedic Dosha Quiz

Take this quiz to discover your predominant Ayurvedic dosha.

What is your dosha? Are you a Vata, Pitta or Kapha mind-body type?  Doshas, or humors, are the three basic mind-body constitutional types pursuant to Ayurveda: Vata, Pitta and Kapha (collectively called the tridosha). The Vata energy is composed by air and ether. The Pitta energy is made up of fire and water. The Kapha energy is composed by Earth and Water.

Each of us has an Ayurvedic constitution, where one of the doshas predominates over the others. Some people are bi-doshic, meaning that two of their doshas are equally strong.

While it is true that being fully evaluated by a trained Ayurvedic practitioner is always more accurate, filling out the following questionnaire can give you a very good insight into the balance of energies that are unique to your body and mind at this time.

🌿 What to Do if One Dosha is Too High?

If your quiz results show one dosha dominating, don't worry! Ayurveda is all about bringing things back into balance. Here are a few simple ways to balance each dosha:

🌬️ Too Much Vata? Ground Yourself!

When Vata is high, you might feel anxious, scattered, or cold. Time to slow down and warm up.

• Eat warm, cooked, nourishing foods (like soups and stews)
• Stick to a regular routine (Vata loves structure!)
• Keep warm and cozy, especially in windy or cold weather
• Try gentle yoga or calming walks
• Massage yourself with warm sesame oil

🧘‍♀️ Think: calm, cozy, connected.

🔥 Too Much Pitta? Cool It Down!

Excess Pitta can bring irritation, anger, or overworking. Time to chill out (literally and emotionally).

• Enjoy cooling foods (like cucumbers, melons, mint tea)
• Avoid spicy, fried, or acidic foods
• Take breaks—don’t let your inner perfectionist run the show
• Spend time in nature, especially near water
• Try calming breathing exercises or meditation

💧 Think: cool, relaxed, easygoing.

🌱 Too Much Kapha? Get Moving!

Too much Kapha may leave you feeling sluggish, heavy, or stuck. Let’s lighten things up!

• Eat light, spicy, and warming foods (ginger is your friend!)
• Avoid heavy, oily, or sweet foods
• Get your body moving—exercise is key!
• Declutter your space and your schedule
• Try energizing music or activities that inspire you

🔥 Think: light, energized, motivated.
