Hi there, first I want to tell you that Ayurvedic medicine don't make precise body types. It is more like three main patterns of behavior and body construction but also they may be combined. These three types are:
Vata type: Body is thin, bony, tall or short, low weight, skin is dry, rough, cool and dull, hair is dark, dry, and curly, appetite is variable and small.
Pitta : Body is medium, balanced, weight is moderate, skin is soft, oily, warm, ruddy, hair is soft, oily, fair/red, appetite is good.
Kapha : Body is large and broad, weight is heavy, skin is greasy, moist, cold and pale, hair is thick, oily and wavy, appetite is slow and steady.
This is just rough picture of body types but I think it will be enough to make some conclusions how things are functioning. |
