Dr. Sonica Krishan, author of the well-written book Healing through Ayurveda, Tips for Understanding Dosha and Self Care, provides clear, concise information on the three humors or personality types of vatta, pitta, and kapha in part one. She provides checklists and descriptions of personality factors or conditions that invite all people of Eastern and Western cultures to identify their personal traits and patterns. The Self-Identity Questionnaire is especially helpful in recognizing aspects like climate preference, mental ability, and emotional tendencies. We don’t usually consider that we may be sensitive to temperature, specific herbs or need social or emotional skills to balance our personality traits.
