Ayurveda is a traditional system of medicine from India, focusing on holistic health and well-being. It emphasizes balance in the body, mind, and spirit, aiming to prevent illness and promote a healthy, balanced life. Ayurveda is based on the idea that each person has a unique ratio of three doshas, or "mind-body types": Vata (air), Pitta (fire), and Kapha (earth). 

​

• Vata: Governs movement, including breathing, circulation, and nerve impulses. It's associated with qualities like lightness, dryness, and creativity. When balanced, Vata brings energy and enthusiasm, but when imbalanced, it can cause anxiety or digestive issues.

​

• Pitta: Governs metabolism and transformation, such as digestion and body temperature. It’s associated with heat, sharpness, and intensity. Balanced Pitta supports focus and vitality; if out of balance, it can lead to anger or inflammation.

​

• Kapha: Governs structure and stability, such as body tissues and immunity. It’s linked with qualities like heaviness, moisture, and calmness. Balanced Kapha fosters compassion and strength, but imbalance may lead to lethargy or congestion.
