Is important to first note that your dominant DOSHA is consistent throughout your life, but it might go through changes over time based on emotional blockages, stagnant energy or changes in season. These can affect your body natural rhythms in a particular point in time affecting the normal balance of all other elements.  

 

Your results are a good indicator of your dominant element so take note:
