Doshas

Doshas are fundamental energies in Ayurveda, an ancient Indian medicinal system, representing different combinations of the elements—earth, water, fire, air, and ether. There are three primary doshas: Vata (air and ether), Pitta (fire and water), and Kapha (earth and water). They govern various bodily functions, such as movement, digestion, and structure, and maintain balance is essential for health. An imbalance can lead to physical or mental issues. Understanding your dominant doshas helps tailor lifestyle, diet, and treatments to promote wellness and prevent disease.
