Doshas
According to Ayurveda, the universe is made of five
primordial elements, namely earth, air, fire, water
and ether. These elements themselves are inanimate,
but in combination, give rise to three main biological
forces or principles in the human body, called doshas
- Vata, Pitta and Kapha.
As every human being has a different balance of
elements, one dosha is typically predominant in our
constitution and ascertains our personality. If you do
not know your predominant dosha, here's a quick look
at the main features of each. |
