Has anyone else looked into this?
I'm a Pitta type and I know when I drink my special tea, it really does settle me.
Here's the quiz to figure out your type What's my Dosha (http://www.whatsyourdosha.com/index.php)
My SIL did it and it worked for her, that's why I did it. I have a book Eat-Taste-Heal: An Ayurvedic Cookbook for Modern Living (http://www.amazon.com/Eat-Taste-Heal-Ayurvedic-Cookbook-Modern-Living/dp/0976917009/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1227741101&sr=8-3) and the recipes really seem to make me feel better.
Like the Pitta type isn't supposed to eat a lot of beef and when I do I feel all crappy. But if I stick with what they recommend I feel good. The tea recipes really work. I can post the Vata and Kapha one if anyone's interested.

Could you post the Vata for me. I sell a lot of Ayurvedic herb formulas at the store. I've been in this field for about 20 years.Anything would be appreciated.

Here's the recipes:
Pitta Tea
4 cups water
1 tsp fennel seeds
1 tsp coriander seeds
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
10 fresh mint leaves
Squeeze of lemon juice
To taste, raw organic sugar (like Sucanat)
Kapha Tea
4 cups water
1 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp coriander seeds
1 stick cinnamon or licorice
10 fresh basil leaves
squeeze lemon juice
Vata Tea
1 tsp fennel seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp coriander seeds
1/2 tsp fresh grated ginger
squeeze lemon juice
To taste, raw organic sugar (Sucanat)
If you have one of those tea presses those are good, but most of the time I just make it on the stove and pour the tea through a strainer.
Add all ingredients (except lemon or sugar) in pot and bring to a boil. Turn off heat and let steep about 4 or 5 minutes. Add lemon while it's steeping. Add sugar (unless it's the Kapha) to taste.
