Kapha Pitta - #5695
I’ve been trying to figure out my dosha type, and it seems like I have a mix of kapha pitta. I always feel stuck between being too slow and heavy (kapha) and too hot and irritable (pitta). How do I balance kapha pitta doshas at the same time? For example, I tend to feel really sleepy and unmotivated in the mornings, but by midday, I’m short-tempered and impatient. Does this mean my kapha dominates in the morning and pitta later? How do I adjust my routine to manage both kapha pitta issues? Another problem is my diet. I love spicy and oily foods, but I think they’re making my pitta worse. At the same time, when I try eating lighter, cooling foods, I feel even lazier, which I guess is my kapha acting up. What’s the best diet for someone with kapha pitta imbalances? I’ve also noticed I get frequent skin breakouts and indigestion, which I think are pitta-related. But I also gain weight easily, which feels like kapha. Are there specific herbs or treatments in Ayurveda for managing both kapha pitta issues together? Lastly, how can I tell which dosha is dominating at any given time? Should I follow different routines for different seasons, or is there a way to keep both kapha pitta doshas in check year-round?
