- About Ayurveda
- Ayurveda states that our bodies are made up of the three doshas or vital energies. They are combinations of the five elements: ether (space), air, fire, water and earth. Vata is a combination of ether and air, Pitta is a combination of fire and water and Kapha is a combination of water and earth. Each of us is born with an individual constitution or prakruti, made up of the three doshas (five elements). Our prakruti is determined by our parent's doshas at the time of conception. Your prakruti can be confirmed by pulse assessment with a qualified Ayurvedic Practitioner. Over time, through improper diet, poor sleep, emotional trauma, stress, etc. our prakruti becomes out of balance and the doshas increase. Ayurveda prevents the development of disease by working with the individual in order to restore the body back to its natural state, by pacifying the doshas. The goal is to balance the elements by using diet, exercise, herbs, memory and cleansing programs, so health will follow.
