Dosha

Ayurveda teaches us that our bodies are vessels comprising five basic elements: Space, Fire, Earth, Water and Air. Doshas are essentially a combination of these primary elements, and the combination of Doshas we have by birth is responsible for all chemical activities inside us. Each human has her own affinity to a Dosha, and it is this factor that causes different people to have different body compositions, immunity levels, behavioural patterns, and responses to various external stimuli. Our uniqueness has a direct bearing on the balance of Doshas within us.

There are three types of Doshas in the human body: Vata, which is composed of Space and Air, Pitta, of Fire and Water, and Kapha, of Earth and Water. Each of these Doshas, be it in excess or deficit, can have a major impact on the functioning of the body.
