Understanding Ayurvedic Doshas
What are Doshas?
In Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, doshas are three fundamental energies that govern all biological and psychological functions. These are Vata (air and ether), Pitta (fire and water), and Kapha (water and earth). Everyone has a unique combination of these three doshas, which determines their constitution and health patterns.
The Three Doshas
Vata (Air & Ether)
Associated with movement, creativity, and change. Vata governs nervous system function, circulation, and elimination.
Pitta (Fire & Water)
Associated with transformation, metabolism, and intelligence. Pitta governs digestion, body temperature, and mental clarity.
Kapha (Water & Earth)
Associated with stability, strength, and grounding. Kapha governs structure, immunity, and emotional stability.
