WHAT IS AYURVEDA?

Āyurveda is a system of wellness deeply rooted in nature.
It recognizes that true healing requires alignment with the five elements:
EARTH • WATER • FIRE • AIR • SPACE
These elements combine to form three dosha (bio-energetic conditions).
Your unique dosha balance determines your overall well-being.

KAPHA DOSHA = earth + water

Kapha dosha is made up of the two elements water and earth which provide structure and cohesion. Imbalanced kapha can cause overweight and depression. It is present in the late winter and during the spring when the environment is damp, heavy, and colder.

VATA DOSHA = wind + space

The combination of space and air together form vata dosha.
Vata governs your mental and physical activity. Imbalanced vata creates anxiety, restlessness, and dehydration. Vata is increased when the weather is dry, cold and windy: in fall and early winter.

PITTA DOSHA = fire

The Āyurveda dosha called pitta is governed by fire. Balanced pitta is important primarily for all digestive and heating processes in your body. When imbalanced, pitta can cause tempers to flare! It is increased in the late spring and summer months when the weather is hot.
