Kapha-Pitta Prakriti
Earth + Water Dominant, Fire + Water Influence

Kapha-Pitta constitution combines the strength and stability of earth with the digestive power and intensity of fire. This gives you one of the most robust constitutions — excellent immunity, strong digestion, stable energy, and good endurance. The challenge is preventing the excesses that both doshas share: accumulation and inflammation.

  • Avoid rich, oily foods despite strong appetite — the appetite exceeds metabolic capacity
  • Regular detoxification to prevent accumulation of toxins from both doshas
