what is kapha - #24483
I am really confused about this whole thing with ayurveda, especially when it comes to what is kapha. Recently, I started feeling really heavy and sluggish, like I can hardly get out of bed some days. My digestion has been all messed up too—bloating and feeling filled up all the time, ugh! A friend mentioned that maybe I’m dealing with a kapha imbalance, but honestly, I don’t even know what is kapha supposed to mean. I tried googling it, and there’s just so much info out there! Some say it’s about water and earth elements or something? But like, how does that relate to me feeling tired and bloated?? And what should I do about it? I thought I was eating okay — lots of veggies, but maybe too much starch? Anyway, can you guys help me understand what is kapha and how I might start to balance it? Is there specific foods I should avoid or things I should do differently in my routine? Feeling a bit lost here! Thanks!
