In Ayurveda, Kapha is one of the three doshas, or constitutional types, that describe a person's physical and mental characteristics. People with a dominant Kapha dosha are said to have a sturdy, solid build and a calm, steady temperament. They are often described as being "grounded" and having a strong sense of stability and support.
Kapha types are generally characterized by their strong immune system, good physical strength and endurance, and a tendency towards a slower metabolism. They are often described as being slow to warm up, both physically and emotionally, and may have a tendency towards laziness or a lack of motivation.
People with a dominant Kapha dosha tend to have a sweet, loving nature and are often very patient and forgiving. They may also be prone to attachment and may find it difficult to let go of things or people. On the downside, they may also be prone to feelings of boredom or complacency and may benefit from activities that challenge and stimulate them.
In terms of diet and lifestyle, Kapha types are generally advised to eat lighter, drier foods and to engage in regular physical activity in order to balance their tendency towards sluggishness. They may also benefit from practices that help them to let go of attachments and find contentment in the present moment.
