Ayurveda teaches that everyone is born with a unique balance of three doshas — Vata (air & space), Pitta (fire & water) and Kapha (earth & water).
Vata
Governs movement and the nervous system. When balanced: creative and energetic. When aggravated: anxiety, dryness, irregular digestion.
Pitta
Governs metabolism and transformation. When balanced: sharp and focused. When aggravated: acidity, anger, inflammation.
Kapha
Governs structure and lubrication. When balanced: calm and strong. When aggravated: lethargy, weight gain, congestion.
Understanding your dominant dosha helps you choose the right diet, lifestyle and Ayurvedic remedies.
