KAPHA

{ tend to be calm, sentimental, low energy, and slow moving }

The kaphas in your life will benefit from gifts that perk them up. Go for bright, bold reds and oranges and

stimulating scents, such as clove, says Ayurveda expert Niika Quistgard, founder of ayurmama.com. A

journal serves as a first step toward richer self-expression, an adjustable tablet stand makes it easier to set

up an energetic home practice, and sunglasses supply an instant boost of confidence.
