Doshas and Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, the three doshas—Vata (Air &  Ether), Pitta (Fire & Water), and Kapha (Earth & Water)—represent the fundamental energies that govern bodily and mental functions. Each person has a unique balance of these doshas, which influences their physical characteristics, behavior, and health.

The three primary doshas in Ayurveda and matching ayurvedic herbs that are traditionally used to balance each dosha:

Balanced vs. Imbalanced Doshas:

• Balanced Doshas: Promote health, vitality, and harmony in body and mind.

• Imbalanced Doshas: Can lead to physical or mental health issues, and are addressed through diet, lifestyle, and Ayurvedic treatments to restore harmony.

Ayurveda aims to understand each individual's unique doshic makeup and recommend practices that bring balance to these energies for optimal health.
