BODY (DOSHAs) COMPOUNDS

Vata, Pitta, and Kapha are present in every cell, tissue, and organ to varying degrees. Your unique Prakruti, or individual constitution, is determined through pulse diagnosis, observation, and personal health history. These steps are crucial for understanding your inherent qualities, tendencies, and needs.

There are seven constitutional types: Vata, Vata/Pitta, Vata/Kapha, Pitta, Pitta/Kapha, Kapha, and Vata-Pitta-Kapha (Tridosha).

The Doshas: 

Vata consists of ether and air elements and is responsible for movement in the body and mind. A balanced Vata promotes flexibility and mental equilibrium, while an imbalanced Vata can lead to fear, anxiety, and nervousness.

Pitta, made up of fire and water, is linked to digestive processes, metabolic activity, and body temperature. A balanced Pitta is associated with intelligence and leadership qualities, whereas imbalance can result in anger, hatred, and jealousy.

Kapha, comprising earth and water, is related to the growth of body tissues and storage of substances. It provides lubrication, moisture, and maintains immunity. When balanced, Kapha embodies love and forgiveness; when imbalanced, it can cause attachment, greed, and congestion.

Tridosha represents a balance of all three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.
