I would really like to hear what you have discovered.

Sometime I would also like to hear about New Zealand.

Thanks

Just for fun and interest I did a test to decide my type and I turned

out to be dominantly Vata(34 total score)much less Kapha(16) and

least Pitta (12 scores). ( I never went into it any deeper.)

I am Type O Rh+ non secretor.

OK, so does it say anything?

What sort of information would you share with us?

Thanks, Rose/Hun

Ayurveda and Blood Type

Hi there!

I'm an Ayurvedic Medicine Practitioner in New Zealand (South

Pacific). I'm always asked about the links between Ayurveda and the

Blood Type diet, so I did some research and have formulated opinions

regarding the unique relationship between these two disciplines. If

anyone is interested in my findings, please contact me. PS-I am not

trying to sell anything - I only want to spread my knowledge.

Thank you!

Hi Irene

Thanks for your message - I hope Ayurveda becomes more popular also!!

I think you'll find that doing the test to find your body type is

completely inaccurate. Only a qualified practitioner can tell your

true birth constitution (from your pulse), what you get on the tests

is just your current level of the doshas, which is more often than

not - an unhealthy state which you are in. Most people are not in

their perfect balance right now, so doing a test right now will tell

you this unhealthy state, not the state which is right for you.

It is most likely that you are not VPK (although some people are, I

am), but that you have some doshas which are out of balance (too

high or too low right now). To find this out, you need to look at

your current ailments or feelings of ill health and see which doshas

they correspond with, this dosha will be unnaturally high and need

to be lowered by following a pacifying diet for this dosha.

For example, if you have mucus, pusy blisters/rashes/acne, lethargy,

heaviness and weight gain - follow K diet. If you have

irritability, burning red rashes, impatience, stomach ulcers,

burning stomach/diarrhoea, inflammations - follow P diet. If you

have anxiety/stress, dry skin, falling hair/splitting nails, joint

problems, mental problems, rapid breathing/heartbeat, exhaustion -

follow V diet.

For more advice, you'd better see an Ayurvedic Medicine

Practitioner!!

Good luck,

Yolande

The test I did consisted of two parts, one for personality traits,

the other for current health status. Both showed the Vata rate

highest, Kapha about half of that and Pitta the lowest. What does it

mean then?

Anyway, until I find out any more about that, I am not altering BTD

anyhow.

Hi,

I fall under the V diet category. Can someone please tell me where I

could find info about the V diet?

Thank you.

Hi Rose,

I can't really tell you what the results mean, tests are inaccurate,

even personality traits change as your imbalances change.

All I can tell you is that, although you MAY have a vata body type,

it is quite likely that you have a Vata imbalance (ie-very high

vata) which is extremely common today. It is caused by overwork,

overexercise, too much thinking/talking, emotional/physical stress,

anxiety, depletion, excess fasting, or eating foods which are too

dry, cold, crunchy or lacking in minerals oils and moisture.

Without seeing you, talking to you and feeling your pulse, there is

no way I can accurately tell you your true Ayurvedic type. If you

want to find out, you would need to see a consultant wherever you

live. Try and find one who has studied in-house (NOT

correspondence) at a reputed Ayurvedic Institution. The best one I

know of is www.ayurveda.com (run by Vasant Lad in Albequerque).

Good Luck!!
