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.

What is Ayurveda? The Science of Life

Ayurveda is a Vedic science which, like yoga, has only one purpose: to expose the illusion and neediness of the mind and become free. It offers a body of wisdom designed to help people stay vibrant and healthy while realizing their full human potential.

What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is a science of life (Ayur = life, Veda = science or knowledge). Ayurveda is the science that seeks to free you of all that, and let the real, delicate, vulnerable and powerful “truth of you” out so you can be fully content with just being you.

Ayurvedic Body Types

In Ayurvedic medicine, one’s individual nature is mirrored in their body type or dosha. The doshas reflect three main governing principles of nature, called vata (air), pitta (fire) and kapha (earth-water).

Each person is a unique combination of these three principles or doshas, with different proportions of each existing within us. These three basic Ayurvedic principles combine to make ten unique mind-body types.

In Ayurveda, seasonal and daily routines include proper diet and a balanced lifestyle according to your type. Ayurveda then makes very specific recommendations for resetting digestion, restoring balance and function, and proper detoxification.
