Ayurveda and Dosha Types

In Ayurveda, there are mainly three types of ayurvedic body types—Vata, Pitta & Kapha. The doshas are described as biological energies found throughout the human body and mind.

The 3 Dosha types:


1. Vata Dosha --


Energy that controls bodily functions associated with motion, including blood circulation, breathing, blinking, and your heartbeat.

    In balance: There is creativity and vitality.
    Out of balance: Can produce fear and anxiety.


2. Pitta Dosha --


Energy that controls the body's metabolic systems, including digestion, absorption, nutrition, and your body's temperature.

    In balance: Leads to contentment and intelligence.
    Out of balance: Can cause ulcers and anger.


3. Kapha Dosha --


Energy that controls growth in the body. It supplies water to all body parts, moisturizes the skin, and maintains the immune system.

    In balance: Expressed as love and forgiveness.
    Out of balance: Can lead to insecurity and envy.
