How to discover doshas?

[suresh]

Friends,

How to discover doshas or body constitution of a certain individual? There are three types: kapha, vata, pitta. There are diff. descriptions given in various places, all conflicting with each other.

Are only physical traits (like skin, hair) considered, or must we also consider deeper emotional and mental planes in order to determine doshas?

Warmly,
Suresh

Namaste,

there are multiple levels to consider... best to take a look at some info. One book I have used for many years is Ayurveda the Science of Self-Healing by Dr. Vasant Lad, ISBN number 0-914955-004,

It is a straight forward book that is easy to read.
