The Three Doshas - Vata, Pitta and Kapha

The ancient sages observed the law of nature, as being made up of the five elements, Ether (Space), Air, Fire, Water, and Earth. These five elements represent nature's cycle of birth, growth, transformation and death. The interactions of these elements, is also present within our bodies and manifests as the three Doshas, Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Ayurveda says diseases are nothing but imbalances of Doshas.

Vata is combined the elements of ether and air. It is responsible for all motion and movements of the body and mind.

Pitta is made up with fire and water. It controls the transformation process.

Kapha is contained water and earth, which is responsible for cohesion, and growth. We cannot live without any of this process. They form the make up of our individual constitution of body, mind and consciousness.
