The doshas
According to Ayurveda each individual has three main energies (doshas) in different proportions: Vata,Pitta and Kapha that determine the modes of behavior, preferences and emotional tendencies
Vata It is air and space and corresponds to the movement of mind and body, and breathing. It’s characterized by being light, fast and dry
Pita It is fire and water, and corresponds to the digestive metabolism and intellectual activity.
Kapha It is water and earth, and corresponds to body mass, lubrication of extremities, and is characterized by adjectives like slow, calm and patience.
The doshas make it easy to distinguish between the psychophysical tendencies in our body and disharmony which may ensue. According to ayurveda the diseases arise when creating imbalances in the doshas; identification of imbalances in a dosha lead to finding a remedy to restore the state of balance and harmony.
Rebalancing of a dosha is obtained by increasing the opposing qualities through changes in lifestyle, diet, herbs, oils, stones, special colors and ayurveda practice yoga.
