If the balance is disturbed, subtle
changes and mental level. So, when amplifying
Air arises fear and anxiety, strengthening of Fire
leads to anger and hatred, and the earth element to

THREE DOSHAS - VATA, PITTA AND KAPHA
Ancient Ayurveda considered people in terms of classifying them into five body types, depending on the dominant element in their constitution.
But since the Ether is essentially inert, and the Earth is solid
foundation for all things, these two elements are considered mostly passive. Актиinными, подinижными, изmeющимися элементами яinляются ATоздух, Fire и ATода.
In Ayurveda, these three active elements are combined
on the principle of the three doshas.
Vata represents Air and Ether; Pitta - fire
and water; Kapha - Water and Earth.
Vata, Pitta and Kapha are the fundamental concepts of Ayurveda. The concept of human nature, depending on the predominance of bile,
blood or mucus that we find in European medicine of the past can be considered
most likely as one of the many fruits of Ayurveda.
At the moment of conception, the combination and proportions of vata, pitta and kapha are determined by genetics,
the nature of nutrition, lifestyle and emotional state of parents. Only a few
happy people are born with a balanced
a constitution where all three doshas are equal in quantity and quality. These people are gifted with good
health and good digestion. However,
most people are dominated by one or two
doshas and to achieve optimal health,
they need to lead a suitable lifestyle and eat accordingly.

lifestyle, emotions, age, environmental influences, etc. (that is, those aspects that are most likely not in harmony with your prakriti), the difference will be obvious. On theличие
such a difference can be established by a doctor,
