Imbalance signs: Anxiety, constipation, dry skin
Balance tips: Warm, grounding foods, oil massages, regular routine
2. Pitta (Fire + Water)
Traits: Medium build, sharp mind, intense personality
Imbalance signs: Anger, acidity, inflammation
Balance tips: Cool foods, coconut oil, avoid spicy items
3. Kapha (Water + Earth)
Traits: Heavy body, calm nature, steady energy
Imbalance signs: Lethargy, weight gain, congestion
Balance tips: Light, warm food, exercise, avoid dairy
