Namaste Diet - Ayurveda Dosha Test

Ayurveda is a holistic system of medicine, it is indigineous to India and still widely practiced there in daily life for over 5000 years. The literal translation of the term is “Science or Knowledge (Veda) of Life (Ayur)”.

Ayurveda is a combination of science, philosophy, spiritual practices, beliefs and disciplines, all aimed to study all aspects of life, and find harmony and balance.

Ayurvedic masters teach that life’s journey is sacred, and an Ayurvedic practitioner is invited to seek and practice truth in everyday life.

Ayurveda is rooted in the Vedas, ancient texts containing knowledge about all aspects of life, and shares its roots with Yoga.

This test is designed to help you determine your unique body-mind constitution according to the Ayurvedic system of holistic health.

Tridosha

Congratulations! You have been diagnosed as Tridosha dosha

Elements: Air + Fire + Earth

Qualities: Warm, Balanced, Even, Delicate

Balanced, steady, engaged.

In reality, there are two types of three-dosha constitution, balanced and imbalanced.

Ideally, if you are balanced, you feel stable in all aspects of your life and are generally strong and healthy.

However, you might need to be extra cautious about losing that state, because if any of those doshas is thrown out of balance, they will all become imbalanced.

If you are imbalanced, it is imperative to follow a disciplined life to avoid illness, in all areas from sleep to nutrition.

You have a great potential to be happy and at peace, in all aspects of your life.

Find ways to strengthen and nourish that opportunity. Stay true to yourself and what keeps you in harmony.

In challenging situations, you are prone to all dosha type stress-response, anxiety, anger and depression, depending on the situation.

Stay connected and manage your emotions in a balanced and healthy way.
