Ayurveda teaches that each person is born with a unique constitution, or Prakriti, determined by the balance of the three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Vata embodies air and ether, governing movement and communication. Pitta represents fire and water, controlling metabolism and transformation. Kapha, composed of earth and water, is responsible for structure and lubrication. Understanding your dominant dosha is the foundational step in Ayurvedic wellness. It allows for personalized dietary recommendations, lifestyle adjustments, and herbal remedies tailored to maintain balance and prevent disease. An Ayurvedic practitioner can help you determine your true Prakriti through pulse diagnosis, observation, and detailed questionnaires, guiding you toward a life of optimal health and harmony.
