The Ayurvedic Philosophy
According to Ayurveda, "a proper balance between body, spirit, mind and social wellbeing is
considered as perfect health". If we go with Ayurvedic Philosophy, then we came to know that the
whole universe consists of five elements also known as the building blocks of life, i.e.,
• Air (Vayu): It governs the movement, sense of touch and dryness in the body.
• Water (Jala): It governs the sense of taste and the action of reproduction.
• Fire (Agni): It governs the sense of sight, the action of the legs, feelings, thought
processes and the power.
• Earth (Prithvi): It governs the sense of smell and the action of excreting waste products
such as feces. Stable substances of the body like bones, teeth and tissues represent the elements
of the earth.
• Ether (Akasha): It governs the sense of hearing and the action of the mouth & vocal cords
The well-being of a human has a powerful bearing on the quality, quantity and configured pattern
of these elements.
The 3 Doshas:
• Vata Dosha: Composed of ether & air and hence pursue the qualities of them, "Vata"
governs all motions in the body. When Vata becomes Imbalanced then it causes constipation, weight
loss, restlessness, arthritis and digestive challenges.
• Pitta Dosha: Composed with the qualities of fire and water elements, "Pitta" governs
nutrition and metabolism. Pitta imbalances can cause the shape of infection, ulcers, rashes,
inflammation, heartburn and fever.
• Kapha Dosha: Primarily composed of the earth and water elements, "Kapha" governs body
structure and provides stability & strength. Kapha imbalances can cause obesity, lung congestion,
some types of cancer and bronchitis.
