The most revered ayurvedic text, the Charaka Samhita, defines the
characteristics of Kapha dosha: heavy--both water and earth are heavy
elements; cold; soft; unctuous, offering lubrication; sweet; stability, offering
immunity; and slippery.
People with more Kapha in their constitutions tend to be of larger proportions,
with a robust frame and padded joints, thick smooth skin that may tend towards
oiliness, and rich, wavy hair. They are stable and calm in thought, speech and
action, and are easy-going and supportive in relationships. There is an element
of steadiness to their step, a quality of serenity in their smile. Loyalty is usually
their second name. They are long, heavy sleepers and uncomfortable in damp,
clammy environments. Calm and sweetness of disposition are hallmarks of
balanced Kapha.
If your prakriti or original constitution has more Kapha in it, you will exhibit
many of the characteristics and qualities of Kapha when you are in balance than
people who have more Pitta or Vata in their make-up. And that's natural. But if
the qualities become extreme, or more pronounced than usual at a given time,
then the Kapha in you has in all likelihood become aggravated or imbalanced,
and needs to be brought back into balance.
