If you consider the qualities of wind, you'll intuit the attributes of Vata: cool, dry, rough, mobile, light, subtle, and clear. Vata people tend to be lean, with dry skin and coarse hair.
Vata people tend to have irregular bodily functions, like irregular appetite and elimination. Because the wind principle is dominant, Vata people tend to be very busy, are constantly moving, and prefer to do several things at once. They can be easily distracted.
Vata people often have nervous habits, like picking their nails or twirling their hair. Like the wind, Vata people can feel cold and can be spacey and ungrounded. Fear is the primary challenging emotion for Vata people.
A Vata person is also likely to be artistic and expressive in creative ways. Vata constitutional types tend to be spiritually oriented, in part because of the ethereal elements dominant in their composition. Vata people love raw food, because it is predominantly composed of air and space.
Pitta represents the union of fire and water, and the Tibetan translation as bile signifies its hot and oily nature. The attributes of Pitta are hot, oily, light, sharp, dispersing, mobile and liquid.
Pitta predominant people have sharp qualities, with sharp facial features and intellect. Pitta people are usually of medium build, and have strong appetites and good digestion. They tend to run hot and may easily perspire and become red in the face. Red-haired people are almost certainly Pitta constitution.
Pittas have focused concentration but can be easily frustrated and angered. They love spicy food and acidic foods that are primarily fire and water.
Kapha predominant people exhibit the qualities of water and earth. The attributes of Kapha are: heavy, slow, cold, slimy, dense, static, soft, oily and cloudy.
Kapha types are usually larger and heavier than the other two types, and their skin appears milky and smooth. Their features are round and wide, and their hair tends to be voluminous. They are grounded, calm people with great strength and endurance.
Kaphas can be extremely sweet, nurturing and loving, but may also become greedy and possessive of things and people. They tend to be lethargic and may have a slow metabolism.
Like phlegm, Kapha bodily elements can be thick and sticky, and this type of person prefers dairy products and rich foods that are primarily earth and water. Ayurvedic Treatment of Disease Although our Prakruti (our constitution) never changes, at any point in one's life there is likely to be an imbalance, called Vikruti. Imbalances may be the result of many things: stress, improper diet, environmental factors, or improper lifestyle. One or more of the doshas can become aggravated and result in an increase or decrease in those elements. It is important to know what your Vikruti is in relation to your Prakruti so steps can be taken to bring those elements back into balance. The best way to determine your Prakruti and Vikruti is to have the diagnosis made by an Ayurvedic practitioner. If there isn't an Ayurvedic doctor in your area there are books and online quizzes to help you figure it out. It bears mentioning that the problem with these quizzes is that people often mistake their current imbalance for their constitution. Take any of the quizzes twice, once answering while thinking back to how you were as a child, and once thinking about how things are for you currently. This should help discern which qualities have always been present, and which are more recent developments. Ayurveda teaches that "like increases like." In terms of diet, this means that consuming foods of Vata nature will increase Vata in the body. The same is true for Pitta and Kapha.
