With the rise in awareness of Ayurveda, more and more people are complementing their overall health with wellness goals with advice tailored to their specific Ayurvedic dosha, or constitution. You could be any one of the three doshas, which include Vata (Space and Air), Pitta (Fire and Water), Kapha (Water and Earth), or a wonderful combination of two or even all three. According to Ayurveda, your constitution contributes to your basic biological and psychological tendencies.

So now that you've explored your doshic tendencies, what do you do? That's where Vasant Lad's book comes in handy as he breaks down each dosha, giving a wide range of advice from the types of exercise, food groups, sexual frequency, skincare recipes, etc. that will help you live life in balance and thrive.

A world-renowned expert on the health benefits of Ayurvedic medicine, Vasant Lad is the founder and director of the Ayurvedic Institute in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
