HibisKISS Āyurvedic Vikṛti Questionnaire - ​Determine Your Vikṛti

What's My Dosha?
​​

The characteristics below are considered to change throughout your life. They are affected by current lifestyle choices, diet, age, season, time of day and emotional stressors. These factors help to determine your current state of being, also known as your vikṛti. Check the boxes below in each column that best represent your current experiences or the closest match. You may check off as many boxes per column that apply. If no box applies in a column, leave blank. ​

An individuals vikṛti is their current state of being, and does not indicate the original constitution (prakṛti) of the individual. The vikṛti includes current imbalances that can be rebalanced by knowing what the original constitution should be. To determine prakṛti please schedule an āyurvedic consultation. ​

Dominant Dosha
  • Vata (ether and air):

    The three dominant qualities of Vata are light, cold and dry. Vata dominant individuals have thin frames and small or narrow features. They are creative, spontaneous and enjoy change and movement. Vata individuals have little or a light appetite. When Vata is out of balance it may produce anxiety, fear, insomnia, and irregular digestion.

    Vata is balanced using warm, wet and heavy elements.


  • Pitta (fire and water):

    The three dominant qualities of Pitta are light, hot and oily. Pitta dominant individuals have a medium build, proportionate facial features and sparkling or intense eyes. They are orderly, intense and focused. Pitta individuals have a sharp appetite and can be irritable when hungry. When Pitta is out of balance it can lead to anger, resentment, inflammation and ulcers.

    Pitta is balanced through cool, relaxing and nurturing methods.


  • Kapha (water and earth):

    The three dominant qualities of Kapha are heavy, cold and oily. Kapha dominant individuals have a large build with full, soft features. They are relaxed, patient and conservative. Kapha individuals have stable and regular digestion, but can be prone to emotional or “boredom” eating. When Kapha is out of balance it can cause attachment, lethargy, depression and congestion.

    Kapha is balanced by energizing, mobilizing and stimulating means.
