Discover your Ayurvedic constitution

Every person is unique.

In Ayurveda, we work with the idea that every person is born with an individual constitution. This constitution is shaped by the three doshas: Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Usually, one or two doshas influence our personality, physical tendencies and wellbeing more strongly than the others.

When we understand our constitution, we often begin to understand ourselves better: how we respond to stress, what gives us energy, what throws us off balance and what our body needs to return to harmony.

This test gives you a first indication of which dosha may be most prominent in you.

Take a few minutes and answer the questions as spontaneously as possible — this usually gives the clearest result.
