GENERAL PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS
OF DOSHA IMBALANCE
|
The following are good pointers to finding out
which dosha is unbalanced. However, more than one dosha may be unbalanced,
so please be aware.
-
Vata is unbalanced when there is pain,
spasms, cramps, chills or shakiness.
-
Pitta is unbalanced when there is inflammation,
fever, excessive hunger and thirst, heart burn or hot flushes.
-
Kapha is unbalanced when there is congestion,
mucous, discharges, heaviness, fluid retention, lethargy or over sleeping.
Likewise, Vata, Pitta and Kapha people are susceptible
to different chronic diseases:
-
Vata types are prone to insomnia, chronic
constipation, anxiety and depression, muscle spasms, cramps, pre-menstrual
syndrome (PMS), irritable bowel, chronic pain, high blood pressure, and
arthritis.
-
Pitta types are prone to rashes, acne,
heart burn, peptic ulcers, early balding and premature grey hair, poor
eyesight, hostility, self criticism and heart attacks related to stress.
-
Kapha types are prone to obesity, congested
sinuses, chest colds, painful joints, asthma and/or allergies, depression,
diabetes, higher cholesterol (and related heart disease, atherosclerosis,
high blood pressure and stroke), and chronic sluggishness in the morning.
These are broad guidelines. Your body type
is a strong influence, but not a cause. Being a Vata
does not mean you are sure to have arthritis just as being a Pitta or
Kapha does not mean you will never have arthritis. Your body type
determines what you are more likely to be susceptible to.
