Dosha, pakruti, vikruti, agni, ama, ojas

1. You will think a mouthful of difficult words, but they are all related. Ayurveda works with three basic types of human constitutions: vata, pitta and kapha. Your predominant dosha determines what type you are. In short, to digestive fire: vata stands for a variable feeling of hunger, pitta for a sharp feeling of hunger (not being able to wait before eating) and kapha for a slow feeling of hunger (meals can make meals drowsy and lethargic). Diet tips for the different types are included in the book. In other words, the Hot Belly Diet must be adapted to your dosha. Your dosha is unique, it is nature prakruti. When your dosha is out of balance, you speak of vikruti. In addition to your individual dosha and the state of your dosha, there is agni or digestive fire. According to Ayurveda, four states can be distinguished in Agni: balanced, irregular, sharp and weak. When our agni is in imbalance, it creates ama, toxic residues, which cause deterioration. That ama must be removed to make way for vital life energy ojas
