Hi Amit,
If you are a vata person by nature, you can’t change yourself: http://heymonicab.com/2011/02/embrace_you/

But, if you are a vata person AND have a vata increase, there are some things you can do to reduce vata and feel better. I suggest reading Vata Seasonal Bloom and follow the diet and lifestyle guidelines: http://heymonicab.com/2011/10/vata-season/

Hi George! Yes, you can have two answers to a question, but try to choose just one – you can choose the other as a “secondary” choice which will probably give you good insight your secondary dosha :)

Hi Rod,
Really good question! Well, if you took the quiz and answered the questions according to who you are naturally, having a low vata is just fine! The goal is not to have equal parts in all doshas. Rather, the goal is to figure out what your natural combination is and maintain that throughout your life. So! If you naturally are 11-10-3 and find that you are pretty close to that in the present, congratulations! You are doing everything right. If you are naturally 11-10-3 and find that you feel way more vata increase, that means vata is too high and you need to bring it down so that it matches your natural combo. Does this make sense?

Overall for you, you will need to follow pitta and kapha diet/lifestyle recommendations. Since those two doshas are most prominent in you, those two are the ones most likely to increase and therefore the ones you want to focus on. Unless you are feeling overly vata (anxious, panic, depressed, jittery, nervous, racing mind), then vata is probably at it’s perfect balance within YOU and you are doing great. Does this help at all? Let me know if you have more questions – this is a good one! Best,
Monica

Your dosha test says I am a Pitta-Kapha with low Vatta (11-10-3 count respectively). My humble question is do I need to lower Pitta & Kapha or increase Vatta? A friend brought me Avipathi Churnam to get rid of toxins and cleanse colon, help liver etc before starting to balance. But how to start?
