What Is Kapha? | Ayurveda Explained

Kapha is one of the three doshas-energetic forces of nature that compose the universe and everything in it. Considered the most “grounded” of the doshas, kapha shares qualities with the elements of water and earth, providing the body with stability and grace. Personality-wise, kapha characteristics include compassion, calmness, and resilience. (Also, many people seek out kapha-types as friends due to their loyal dispositions and tendency to give great hugs!)
Excess kapha can cause the body, mind, and emotions to feel heavy, bogged down, or stuck in a routine. A kapha imbalance can happen to anyone, regardless of their Ayurvedic constitution or body type. In this video, we’ll explore the deeper meaning of kapha, what throws kapha out of balance, and how to identify the kapha dosha in your environment, yourself, and others.

Great video, so nice to see it presented by such a warm and beautiful soul.

[@banyanbotanicals]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed ❤️

[@happyhealthyhadlee]

This is such a lovely video, your beautiful kapha energy shines through the screen. :) I also appreciate that you call out the fact that laziness is not actually the case for kapha - that's something I that has always rubbed me the wrong way when learning about Kapha dosha.

[@banyanbotanicals]

Thank you! We appreciate you tuning in. Kaphas are so misunderstood and there's so much to love! 💚

Can this be related to zodiac signs? I have Alot of earth and water in my chart. I sound like kapha. I just want to chill all the time I'm so exhausted, I was looking into taking shatavari to increase my kapha but I'm not sure if this would help

[@banyanbotanicals]

There is a sister science to Ayurveda, called Jyotish, that is the ancient indian science of astrology! It can offer many insights that are complementary to Ayurveda and some practitioners use both in their practice.
You can take our dosha quiz to find out your dosha and even get a recommended product: www.banyanbotanicals.com/info/dosha-quiz/

Dosha can be seen in chart also, but I'm not sure which aspects of the chart. One thing exhaustion is more related to Vata, Bata gets quickly tired. Kapha prefer to remain at home because they stick to it and feel a bit heavy to move. But in general they tend to have good stamina. 😊🙏🏽💗
