The Importance of Doshas

According to Ayurveda, there are five fundamental elements or energies that make up all things. These energies include Ether, Air, Fire, Water and Earth. We are each made up of a combination of these elements and your primary Dosha represents your particular combination.

The three Doshas are Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Vata is made up of Ether and Air and represents the energy of action. Pitta, comprised of Fire and Water, represents the energy of transformation. Kapha is a combination of Water and Earth and represents the energy of construction.

Your primary Dosha is established at the time of conception and does not change throughout life. Your primary Dosha is determined by various mental, emotional and physical attributes. Keeping your Doshas balanced is key to health and mind, body, spirit balance.
