When it comes to
Ayurvedic Therapy,
one of the first things you’ll come across is Tridosha. This isn’t just some abstract idea—it’s the very foundation of Ayurveda, the traditional system of medicine from India. The three doshas in Ayurveda—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—govern the way your body and mind function.
Here’s the fascinating part: these doshas are rooted in the five natural elements.
Vata comes from space and air, pitta from fire and water, and kapha from water and earth. Sounds pretty simple, right? But the magic lies in how these combine uniquely in every person. That’s why your friend may have a fiery pitta body type, while you might lean toward a calmer kapha body type. And understanding your dosha can be life-changing—it guides your lifestyle, diet, and even your emotional balance.
