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

Pitta-Kapha constitution combines the fire and intensity of Pitta with the stability and strength of Kapha. This gives you a powerful combination — strong digestion, robust immunity, excellent physical strength, and focused mental energy. The risk is that both doshas tend toward excess in their own ways.
