Three Dosha - #2858

’ve been learning a bit about Ayurveda recently, and one thing I keep hearing about is the three dosha system. I understand they’re called vata, pitta, and kapha, but honestly, I’m having a hard time figuring out what they really mean for my health. How do the three dosha work together, and how do I know which one is causing my issues? Right now, I’m dealing with a mix of symptoms that don’t seem to make sense together. For example, some days I feel super anxious and restless, like my brain won’t stop racing, which I think might be vata-related. But on other days, I feel overheated, irritated, and even get some heartburn after eating spicy food. Is that pitta? And then, once in a while, I just feel completely sluggish, like I can’t even get out of bed properly. I’m guessing that’s kapha? How do these three dosha show up in the body at the same time? Does one always dominate, or can they all be imbalanced together? The more I read about the three dosha, the more confused I get because it seems like they can overlap. Another thing I don’t understand is how the three dosha change based on lifestyle. I work in a high-stress job and sometimes skip meals or eat really late. Could this be throwing off all the doshas at once? I also don’t get much exercise, which I heard is bad for kapha, but I’m worried about doing too much and worsening vata. Is there a way to balance the three dosha without completely changing my routine all at once? One more question I have is about food. If the three dosha are imbalanced, how do I choose what to eat? Should I avoid foods that aggravate all of them, or focus on calming the one that’s most out of balance? I’d really appreciate some advice on how to figure out which dosha needs the most attention and how to start balancing them step by step. I feel like my symptoms are all over the place, and I don’t know where to begin.
