TriDoshas

Ayurveda is a science and knowledge of healthy and balanced living. Ayurveda governs  healthy and balanced living by energies called Tridoshas. The understanding of nature of our body constitution is the science of Tridoshas.

• The human body is comprised of five eternal substances namely fire, water, earth, air, and space.
• The universe is comprised of these five elements.
• The five elements give rise to three form energies also called Doshas that govern the metabolism and functioning of the body and mind.
• The three energies are known a Vata, Pitta, and Kapha also known as Tridoshas.
  
•  The balance of the body constituents is determined by these three energies also known as Tridoshas.

Tridosha defines the three fundamental energies or principles which govern the function of our bodies on the physical and emotional level.  The combination of earth and water gives rise to Kapha, the combination of fire and water results in Pitta, the combination of air and space gives rise to Vata. Each individual has a unique balance of all three of these energies. The Tridoshas control the health of the body and mind, which needs to co-exists for a balanced health.

According to Ayurveda, good health indicates all the doshas are in balance. The Tridoshas control the health of the body and mind. A disease in the body is due to an imbalance in one of the Tridoshas or a combination of two of them or all of them.
