Dr. Halpern is right - a face to face relationship with an ayurvedic practitioner is the best. I have worked with a student of Dr. Halpern's for about 2 years now and it has improved my life enormously.

How did you Balanced it

[@nicholasmiranda6013]

@@anujkumarshukla3881 Eat the proper food and do the right yoga. Follow a routine and use the right oils/spices/lifestyle depending on what's out of balance. When it becomes habit, it becomes a lot easier to remember. Paying attention to when you're cold/having indigestion or hot/heartburn/irritable is very helpful to know what's out of balance.

[@Medietos]

Your speech is really therapeutic, feels so right and inspires the will to work for improvement, however impossible it is to go alone in súrroundings of malsupport, prejudices (of me being a mad, impossible case) and even torturous mistreatments and psychícal harms. i am devastated at how many professional helpers have dishonestly rejected or turned me off, not helping, not engaging, and not letting me know what their problem with me was. An ayurveda therapist gave my money back and I need an explanation, to know what he terrible thing he saw/felt , whether it was a true assessment. Because i work hard and am very changeable, sth bad can easily change ,transform, vanish with some stabilizing etc help. I am so disappointed, how can therapists be serious and reject those who most need them in bad imbalances and trauma? How can they let laziness/comfort rule over a suffering, harmed one in dire need of help since decades? When good people do evil, it has contributed to new hopelessness and death thoughts in the bad burnout etc etc. Don't they know that withholding info and the negative fantasies it creates, worsens the state? Don't they care? I'd be grateful for your earnest, open constructive input.dear Dr.

[@ravireddi1052]

Well explained

[@SanaKhan-gk9he]

I am vata pita and i do completely reconcile with all you said. My skin is also very dry but at the same time i get hot very quickly. Which oil is best suited for my skin to get rid of dryness without overheating me? Thanks a lot Dr Halpern for this informative video!

[@SRBOMBONICA86]

Coconut oil !!!!!

[@lovewins1072]

If your vata/pita with blood type b, coconut oil isn't good for you, even putting coconut in your head gives you headache, use olive oil instead, in your head also for your food,

I have been listening to your video and It explain many aspect of my constitution. I will apply your recommandation altough there is one term I am not sure to pick up.

[@francineperreault9373]

I have just discovered your channel. I just want to start by saying wow, what a gold mine! I love the information you share. I have just watched the pitta/kapha video before watching this one. I can relate to both. So, I am a little confused. I am definitely pitta dominant, without a doubt- easily overheated, excessive sweating, easily triggered to anger and frustration, sharp features, strong muscular build, sharp and direct tongue, etc. However, I suffer from and have always suffered from dry flaky skin yet oily in some areas and dry hair and nails, thin fair skin, and cracking/popping joints . Also, over the last four years, after giving birth to my daughter at the age of 40, in addition to some extra stress, I have retained some extra weight pretty much all over my body, no specific area in particular, even with my regular exercise regimen. I have also noticed that my previously strong appetite and digestion have declined. I am rarely hungry and when I eat, it feels heavy and sluggish (manda Agni). And I also feel tired, heavy and exhausted all the time (I try to eat dosha appropriate foods, especially pitta). I have lost my drive. So, now I am questioning what my prakruti is ...pitta/ ?? Is it simply that my kapha is vitiated or that my ojas is depleted? How can I tend to my dry Vata without aggravating an already aggravated kapha? Can depleted ojas give rise to kapha qualities and cause a normally strong digestion to tank and thus cause weight gain? Thank you in advance to anyone who can provide some insight 🙏💕

Is pitta vatta same as vaata pitta?

Hi, could you give some examples of how a Vata-Pitta might look? Some celebrity examples or some real life examples?

[@alicetopping4099]

Thank you for such informative videos. What about pitta vata types ? I’m definitely pitta dominant but I know I have vata too, I notice it esp when it goes out of balance ... do we follow the same diet plan and lifestyle advice as vata pitta?

[@cdesign4700]

I had my natal chart read by an astrologer recently. My chart is half Air and then the other half is a mixture of Water and Fire signs. I'm Vata Pitta. I thought it was interesting how my combination is similar in astrology and ayurveda

[@Arrian1111]

Maybe in Vedic astrology. My chart is 2/3 water, 1/4 air and the rest is fire (Western astrology). I'm a vata with shades of pitta as I'm always very hot.

[@nicholasmiranda6013]

I always thought it was my diabetes that was linked to my hyperthermia/hypothermia but I think it's the spiked blood sugar that causes anxiety to increase and make me hot. Been having really bad acid reflux too, so I've been avoiding acidic foods which sucks bc I have a very strong craving for spice. Definitely have an insane drive for a very short amount of time that drives other people away. I'm currently on a spiritual journey which I don't know how long will last. I exercise for 5 hours when I wake up, meditate for 1-2hrs, read about hinduism/buddhism for 5hrs, then can't sit down and have free time bc I'm constantly looking for more information. I have lots of trouble sleeping so I stay up for longer. I know it's excessive and I shouldn't be doing it, but I don't know how to help it. I can almost feel all my motivation and will to live fading after a few weeks. I have a strong passion for music that's always in the background of my head but was very actively pursuing it before, now I just keep reading about other things. Very helpful info.

[@rcjacksonbrighton]

Hey! I’ve studied Ayurveda in detail for a long time. I’m also Pitta Vata. From what I can gather.. all humans have the capacity to be in a loving stable relationship. It may be that you would greatly benefit from being with someone with a strong Kapha element and in combination with that, make it your daily practice to stay in balance. With you being in a very Sattvic state (peaceful and enlightened) and your partner bringing a strong earth element, you should be in good stead to have a beautiful and healthy long lasting relationship if that’s what you’d like. Much love and best wishes for your future XX
