Identify affects of increased and decreased Pitta Dosha?
Understanding Ayurveda
Ayurveda aims for holistic treatment, addressing both body and soul. It is based on the five elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Air, and Ether. These elements govern the body’s three fundamental doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.
Tridosha Concept:
- Vata (Air) governs movement and functions below the umbilicus.
- Pitta (Fire) controls digestion and metabolism, predominating between the chest and umbilicus.
- Kapha (Earth and Water) maintains structure and stability, dominant in the upper body.
Health is achieved when these doshas are in balance, while imbalance can lead to disease. Each person’s body type, or Prakruti, is inherent and determined from conception based on the qualities of the sperm and ovum.
