Kapha people, like the water and earth, tend towards a more stable and grounded nature than the other Ayurvedic tyoes. They are often said to move through life with the grace and ease of a swan. As solid and centered as a mountain, when balanced, Kapha people are loving, peaceful, compassionate, naturing and supportive. But if out of balance, Kapha people can be controlling, greedy, and materialistic. Kapha people are consistent, calm, patient and through. They are considered the kindest and best listeners of the 3 types with good caregiving skills. Slow to anger, when finally provoked, their explosive rage is uncontainable. When completely out of balance, They are the ultimate'couch potatoes'- lethargic, and downright lazy. Because of their ability to gain weight easily, their bodies are usually well-nourished and healthy. Although intellectually slower than the other two types, once they learn they seldom forget. Kapha people make excellent managers due to their friendly, open disposisition, but their stable nature can lead to mental and emotional dullness. The Kapha type requires pungent and reviving scents to break up their natural lethargy.
