Discover Your Unique Body-Mind Type By Taking The Pura Vida Free Dosha Quiz.

The goal of Ayurveda is to bring us back to who we truly are and to restore balance. According to Ayurveda, the root cause of any disease is always the imbalance of tridoshas, or body humors. This further manifests as imbalance in other body components inevitably leading to disease.
Take the free Dosha quiz and find out what your unique constitution is and once you know your constitution, learn about the characteristics of your dosha and how to keep it in balance or bring it back into balance.

Take the quiz twice. The first time, take the quiz to determine your innate constitution ( prakruti) when you were a child, right before puberty (11-12 years old). If you cannot remember, call a sibling or a parent .
Take the quiz a second time , responding to the questions based on how you have been feeling recently( vikruti).  If you can’t choose between two answers, choose both, but try to choose just one.

When finished, add up all the numbers in the Vata column, the Pitta column and the Kapha column. The highest number of checks is the most predominant force in your overall mind body make-up. Taking the quiz twice shows you your  prakruti, you innate constitution ( what you were born with) and your vikruti ( your current imbalance, how you have vitiated from your original constitution).   For example if your prakruti shows more pitta and your vikruti shows more vata, you will want to follow a vata pacifying regimen. Keep in mind that as your age,  seasons  and personal situations change, so will your vikruti; so feel free to come back and take the quiz periodically.
