Body Constitutions According to Ayurveda.
Labor Day Special! Not really, it just happens to be Labor Day as I type this and I wanted to get your attention. And “this” is not one of my more usual articles around hormone health but I think it will be beneficial to you none the less.
The idea of this article came from a friend who is suffering with chronic yeast and bacteria infections, and I noticed he seems to be clammy and sweats a lot. Produces excess saliva and seems to have, as the words came to my mind this morning, a “wet body”. Or as Ayurvedic medicine would put it – a wet constitution or “dosha”. This thought caused me to pull out some of my eastern medicine references and consult what they had to say about “how to fix a wet body”. Which of course would be the same as asking “how to dry a body”. Below is how its done.
I have also included considerations around the other two Ayurvedic body types “Vata” and “Pitta”.
