Vata
Vata embodies light and unstable energies of wind and space. Balanced Vata types are free-spirited, creative, and adventurous. Imbalanced, they can become cold, fearful, and disconnected. Physical symptoms include bloating, dryness, and constipation. Grounding routines and calming relationships help balance Vata.
Pitta
Pitta, driven by the fire element, shines brightly and radiates warmth. Balanced Pitta types are generous and joyful. Imbalanced, they become irritable and critical. Physical symptoms include burning stomach and skin issues. Cooling environments and activities help maintain balance.
Kapha
Kapha combines water and earth, creating stability and strength. Balanced Kapha types are loyal and nurturing. Imbalanced, they can become possessive and lethargic. Physical symptoms include congestion and weight gain. Movement and lighter foods help balance Kapha
