From personality profiling to wellness

There are three persona types i.e. vatta type or Type V, pitta type or Type P and the Kapha type or Type K personalities. These are the ectomorphs, mesomorphs and endomorphs you see around. Ayurveda strongly advocates the philosophy of 'As is within, so is without'. All the traits are naturally held by the doshas ” vatta, pitta and kapha. This makes up your basic nature (physical and mental aspects).
