Ayurveda Kapha - #4272

I’ve been reading about Ayurveda lately and feel like I might have a kapha imbalance, but I’m not entirely sure what to look out for. Could you help me understand how Ayurveda kapha influences health and what its symptoms might look like when it’s out of balance? For example, I’ve been feeling really sluggish and unmotivated, especially in the mornings. No matter how much I sleep, I still wake up tired. I read that this might be related to Ayurveda kapha being dominant. Does kapha lead to such fatigue, or could it be something else entirely? I also notice that I tend to gain weight easily, even when I’m not eating too much. I crave sweets and oily foods, which I’ve read are not great for kapha. Are these cravings a sign of a kapha imbalance? And if so, what foods should I focus on to help balance kapha without feeling deprived? Another issue is that I get a lot of mucus buildup, especially during colder months. It feels like I’m always clearing my throat or dealing with congestion. Is this a classic sign of kapha, and how can I reduce this without taking over-the-counter meds all the time? Are there herbal remedies or teas specific to Ayurveda kapha that can help? Emotionally, I feel like I’m stuck in a rut. I don’t get angry easily, but I do feel withdrawn and overly attached to routines. Is this linked to kapha qualities like stability and heaviness? How does Ayurveda kapha recommend balancing these emotional states? Lastly, are there daily habits or exercises that help reduce excess kapha? I’ve heard things like dry brushing, vigorous exercise, or avoiding naps during the day, but I’m not sure how much of a difference these make. Should I also focus on spices in my diet, like ginger or black pepper, to boost metabolism and reduce kapha?
