Dosha's Test
The Doshas are the vital forces that are found in all things, and according to whether they are in balance or not, the state of health or illness will occur.
The Doshas are three; Vata, Pita and Kapha. The Knowledge of your corporal constitution or Prakriti, serves to know what habits it would be advisable that you begin to adopt, to be healthier.

The most common is a bi-doshica constitution, with predominance in two types of doshas. The answers indicate whether it is Vatta (V), Pitta (P) or Kapha (K). The result tells you what proportion of the three Doshas has your Praktiri.
