Ayurveda: A Holistic Approach to Health

Ayurveda focuses on treating both body and soul, using a holistic approach. According to Ayurveda, our body is composed of five elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Air, and Ether. The functioning of our body is governed by three primary doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.

Understanding Tridoshas:

Vata, Pitta, and Kapha are the three doshas or life forces. Maintaining a balance among these doshas is essential for good health. Imbalance among the Tridoshas can lead to health issues.

Dosha Distribution in the Body:

Kapha Dosha: Dominates the upper part of the body, from the head to the chest.
Pitta Dosha: Predominates from the chest to the navel area.
Vata Dosha: Influences the area below the navel.

Each dosha is present throughout the body but has specific regions where it is more dominant. Balancing these doshas is key to achieving and maintaining health.
