Ayurveda (Science of Life)

Click here for more information about Ayurveda

Ayurvedic science views a person as a unique individual made up of five primary elements. The elements, space, air, fire, water, and earth. When any of these elements are present in the environment, they have an influence on us. While we are a composite of these five primary elements, certain elements, when combined, create various physiological functions. They are known in Ayurveda as the Three Doshas. The Vata dosha governs the principle of movement and therefore can be seen as the force which directs nerve impulses, circulation, respiration, and elimination. The Pitta dosha is the process of transformation or metabolism. The Kapha dosha is what is responsible for growth, adding structure unit by unit. Another function of the Kapha dosha is to offer protection. We are all made up of unique proportions of Vata, Pitta and Ka pha. These ratios of the doshas vary in each individual and because of this, Ayurveda sees each person as a special mixture that accounts for our diversity.
