Ayurveda and the three ‘doshas’ explained simply
Eat Smart, Be Smart
October 15, 2018
“When diet is wrong, medicine is of no use.
When diet is right, medicine is of no need.”
– Ancient Ayurvedic proverb
Ayurveda is based on the principle that the human body is made up of three constitutions (or energy-forces) known as ‘doshas’. These three doshas are called Vata (cold), Pitta (hot) and Kapha (flow).
In a healthy state, a person’s all three doshas are in a balance. All people have one dosha that is more dominant than the other two in their body. Thus, an Ayurvedic treatment starts from learning what is someone’s Dosha type.
The three doshas
Vata (Ether+Air) – cold, dry and rough; affects mental and bodily movements
Pitta (Water+Fire) – oily, hot and mobile; affects digestion
Kapha (Earth+Water) – heavy, dull and cool; affects strength, immune system
Most of us know about the medicinal values of spices and herbs available in every Indian kitchen.
This commonly known form of Ayurvedic knowledge that passed on from thousands of years actually finds its roots in the Vedas. The same medical system that created Yoga for physical, mental and spiritual fitness gave us the healing powers of Ayurveda.
