Ayurveda is a holistic system of medicine that originated in India thousands of years ago. The word Ayurveda is made from two Sanskrit roots ‘Ayu’ which means life and ‘Veda’ which means knowledge. The term Ayurveda means Science of Life.

According to Ayurvedic fundamental’s people are a combination of the three Doshas - Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Each dosha has a specific quality and it is a combination of these three qualities of Vata, Pitta and Kapha which combine to make the unique qualities of every person on the planet. Just like the genetic code or DNA.

The unique qualities of Vata, Pitta and Kapha are a combination of two of the five elements: Space, Air, Fire, Water, & Earth.

The basic constitution of an individual remains unaltered during the lifetime, as it is genetically determined. The combinations of elements present at birth remain constant. However, the combination of elements that governs the continuous psycho-pathological changes in the body alters in response to changes in the environment.

A basic principle of healing in Ayurveda holds that one may create balance in the internal forces working in the individual. By altering diet and habits of living this counteracts changes in his external development.

1. Vata.

2. Pitta.

3. Kapha.

4. Vata-Pitta.

5. Pitta-Kapha.

6. Vata-Kapha.

7. Vata-Pitta-Kapha.

Among these seven general types, there are innumerable subtle variations that depend upon the percentage of Vata-Pitta-Kapha elements in the constitution. The constitution is called Prakruti in Sanskrit, a term meaning nature, creativity or the first creation.

These three elements - Vata-Pitta-Kapha - govern all the biological, psychological and physio-pathological functions of the body, mind and consciousness. They act as basic constituents and protective barriers for the body in its normal physiological condition, when out of balance they contribute to the disease processes.
