In Ayurveda, understanding your Dosha is like learning your body’s operating system. It determines how you digest food, how you respond to stress, what skincare suits youand even how you sleep. While modern health systems often rely on general recommendations, Ayurveda says: one size does not fit all.
What Are Doshas?
Doshas are the three vital energies that govern every function in your body and mind. They’re made from the five elements:
Vata = Air + Ether
Pitta = Fire + Water
Kapha = Earth + Water
We all have all three Doshas, but one or two usually dominate, forming your Prakriti (constitution). This Dosha balance influences your body type, metabolism, emotions, immunity, and disease tendencies.
