In Ayurvedic medicine there are three doshas - Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, each of which corresponds to certain elements and has its own characteristics. Depending on the type of dosha, a person is advised to choose a particular climate and place of residence.
Vata dosha
People of the Vata type usually have dry skin and hair. They tend to be thin, have a fast metabolism, a tendency toward worry, anxiety, and nervousness. They often get cold, their extremities are constantly cold, and they have difficulty falling asleep.
People with a Vata dosha are advised to live in a warm, humid climate, where there is plenty of greenery and good weather year-round. Ideal places to live for people of the Vata type can be the southern states of the USA, Sochi, the coast of Turkey, the Caribbean, southern Spain, California.
Pitta dosha
People of the Pitta type usually have a medium build, a strong metabolism, a tendency toward irritability, aggression, and inflammation. Their hands and feet are usually hot, and they have difficulty tolerating heat.
