In Ayurveda, Doshas<\/strong> are a functional representation of the Panchamahabhutas<\/strong>, or Vayu<\/strong> (Air), Agni<\/strong> (Fire), Jala<\/strong> (Water), Prithvi<\/strong> (Earth), and Akash<\/strong> (Space).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kapha<\/strong> represents Water and Earth, and it is the dominant Dosha<\/strong> during Springtime, or Vasanta<\/strong>. There is a languid re-awakening and sense of gentleness, as though some Time is needed to acclimatise, after Wintertime hibernation. This soft, non-aggravating, re-emergence from dense and cosy comfort resonates well with Kapha<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ATTRIBUTES AND MANIFESTATIONS OF KAPHA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Kapha<\/strong> is firm and heavy, smooth, soft, sweet; and slow and stable. People with a Kapha<\/strong>-dominant Prakriti\/Prakruti<\/strong> (Constitution) tend to have the following characteristics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

   \u2022  Compact and muscular body, with a tendency towards plumpness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

   \u2022  Prominent forehead, chest and arms<\/p>\n\n\n\n

   \u2022  Dark and dense hair, and prominent, heavily-lashed eyes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

   \u2022  Soft, smooth, tender, and oily skin (and hair)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

   \u2022  Soft, slow speech, and a relaxed, easygoing demeanour<\/p>\n\n\n\n

   \u2022  Overall, possessing resilience, sturdiness, and strength
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHEN KAPHA<\/strong> IS IN A STATE OF VIKRUTI<\/strong> (OUT OF SYNC)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"


<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\n\n Symptoms of Kapha<\/strong> imbalance manifest themselves as inflammation and\/or water retention, loss of appetite, difficulty in sleeping, and phlegmatic congestion. A person whose Kapha<\/strong> is in Vikruti<\/strong> may demonstrate:
   \u2022  Obesity
   \u2022  Excessive mucous production
   \u2022  Heavy, lethargic movement
   \u2022  Depression and sadness
   \u2022  Feelings of isolation, or of being unloved and unwanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KAPHA<\/strong>-BALANCED DIET AND LIFESTYLE\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

<\/a> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The predominance of one Dosha<\/strong> over the other says a lot about how the natural Elements influence the quality of your lifestyle, and appearance. Anything you do for the latter is rendered futile without due attention to the former.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FOR AN AGGRAVATED KAPHA<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

   \u2022  Get plenty of exercise everyday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

   \u2022  Maintain relatively warmer temperatures around yourself as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

   \u2022  Consume fresh, \u2018lighter\u2019 fruits, avoiding \u2018heavier\u2019 ones like coconuts, bananas, or figs, or sour ones. Avoid nuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

   \u2022  Excessive intake of \u2018wet\u2019 vegetables, (cucumbers or tomatoes) will increase Kapha<\/strong>, as would \u2018heavy\u2019 ones, like potatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

   \u2022  Reduce intake of heavy, oily, cold, and sweet foods. Moderate the intake of salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

   \u2022  Low-fat dairy products, and natural sweeteners like unadulterated raw honey and stevia are ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

   \u2022  Most herbal teas are good for Kapha<\/strong>, except those with inherently sweet ingredients like Liquorice.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KAPHA<\/strong>-BALANCED BEAUTY<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kapha<\/strong>-imbalanced skin will be excessively oily and \u2018clogged\u2019, prone to cystic acne, enlarged pores, blackheads, and characteristic white pustules. Such skin benefits from ubvartan<\/strong>, or rubbing of the body with exfoliating, herbal pastes. The scrubbing stimulates metabolism in muscles and adipose tissue, thereby toning and softening the skin, dissipating congested, dense fat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\n\nNatural and purifying skin-detox and cooling agents, are perfect. These include Neem<\/em>, Indian Madder (Manjishtha)<\/em>, Fenugreek, Sandalwood, Amla<\/em>, Ashwagandha<\/em>, Calamus, Aloe Vera, Comfrey, Vetiver, Nutmeg, Lemon and Lime, Coriander, and Chickpea or Green Gram Flour.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Kapha<\/strong> hair is naturally thick, lush, and abundant. In a state of Vikruti<\/strong>, Kapha<\/strong> hair develops indiscriminate greyness, becomes dry and thin with split-ends, and tangled. Sesame, Olive, and Almond Oils are good choices to revitalise Kapha<\/strong>-imbalanced hair. \n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\n\n Spring is a Season of optimism, anticipation, and for gearing up to execute plans. Ayurveda has reliable Beauty and Wellness solutions, to help you enjoy the Season\u2019s exuberance without fear.
