It\u2019s a science of life that tells us how to improve the quality and longevity of human life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Composition of Ayurvedic&nbsp; elements in Humans<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ayurveda&nbsp; treatises&nbsp; describe three elements of doshas viz <em>vata<\/em> , <em>pitta <\/em>&nbsp;and<em> kapha<\/em> . And they state that balance of these doshas results in health, while imbalance results in diseases. Doshas are considerd to shape&nbsp; the physical body according to a natural constitution established by birth, determined by the time of conceptions and other factors. The particular ratio of doshas in person\u2019s natural&nbsp; constitution is associated with their mind and body type including various physiological and psychological characteristics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Defining Tri-doshas<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Vata<\/em> is the energy of movement. <em>Pitta<\/em> is the energy of digestion or metabolism. While <em>Kapha<\/em> is the energy of lubrication and structure. All people have the qualities of <em>vata, pitta <\/em>and<em> kapha<\/em>, but one is usually primary, one secondary and the third are usually least prominent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Physical characteristics of those with <em>vata <\/em>Dosha<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those with predominance of <em>vata<\/em> dosha usually have thin, light frame and excellent agility. Their energy comes in bursts, and they are likely to experience sudden bouts of fatigue. Those with predominance of <em>vatas<\/em> are typically have dry skin and hair also with cold hands and feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>When it &nbsp;in balance,<em> vata<\/em> allows us to navigate our thoughts, feelings, and actions. Our ambulation is easy, our sensory integration and mental processes flow, and we feel spacious, creative, and energized. When our <em>vata<\/em> is in balance, our breath supports our nervous system, and there is homeostasis between tissues and organs. The movement of our life force (<em>prana<\/em>) is regulated by <em>vata,<\/em> and this function allows us to \u201cinspire\u201d (inhale) easily and to surrender (exhale) with ease as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Physical characteristics of those with <\/strong><strong><em>Pitta <\/em><\/strong><strong>Dosha<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People with predominant <em>Pitta <\/em>dosha are usually&nbsp;medium-tall and well-developed athletic figures. They do not like hot summers and bright sun. They sweat easily and quickly. They have bright red hair but early graying, baldness or thinning hair .They have excellent digestive power and they have a warm body. They sleep soundly for short periods of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The classic ayurvedic text<em>s<\/em> says that when <em>pitta<\/em> is in balance within any individual, according to their&nbsp;<em>prakruti<\/em>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/yogainternational.com\/article\/view\/dosha-quiz\">constitution<\/a>, their blood will be healthy and the acid secretions in their intestines and stomach optimal for digestion. Mental health, sound judgment, and discernment are functions of balanced <em>pitta.<\/em> Our ability to clearly perceive what the body senses (sees, hears, smells, etc.) is governed by <em>pitta<\/em>. Regarding transformation, <em>pitta <\/em>governs the ability of the body to combust, or digest, the materials needed to bring warmth and color to the body. The body\u2019s ability to maintain warmth and absorb&nbsp;sunlight as well as our ability to mentally digest our thoughts and emotions are governed by<em> pitta<\/em> dosha. The&nbsp;<em>Charaka<\/em>&nbsp;says that the \u201clight of awareness\u201d is governed by pitta as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Physical characteristics of <em>kapha<\/em> dosha<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Kapha<\/em> type have strong build and excellent stamina, large soft eyes ,smooth radient skin.&nbsp; they sleep soundly and have regular digestion. <em>Kapha <\/em>predominant peoples are naturally calm, thoughtful, caring and loving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When <em>kapha<\/em> within us is in balance, we feel a sense of support in bodily function. The dense, stable, conserving qualities of <em>kapha<\/em> support our body heat and protect our organs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;There is a firm quality to our joints, which are well-lubricated and support the bones, and there is internal support from mucous membranes and GI lining, as well as the myelin sheath for proper brain function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Kapha<\/em>\u2019s ability to love and forgive supports relationships with compassion and patience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ayurveda is one of the most ancient and comprehensive systems of health care known to humanity.
