What to do about my dosha dilemma? ?

I'm interested in trying out an Ayurvedic lifestyle for awhile to see what it does for me. My dosha recently changed.

Physically, I'm mainly a kapha.

Emotionally I am more pitta.

So which dosha do I go by?

When I get cravings, they are usually for salty, sour, and/or spicy foods. I almost never crave sweet things.

Anyone have a tip for me? I just want to try this for a month and see how it effects a few things that have been bothering me (physically and emotionally).

I realize that Ayurveda is a lifestyle rather than a diet, but I'm not sure I'm ready to make the commitment to spending money, etc without giving it a test drive first.

    Before treating Doshas Ayurveda believes in removing the toxins from the body and cleaning the system. Most of your understanding about which Dosha type you are might radically change. After successfully removing your toxins you are likely to be given a resting period for your system, so that it gets to breathe naturally without clogged toxins. Then an ayurvedic practitioner would recommend you a diet and lifestyle which would stop the generation of toxins in your body.
