| vata, pitta, kapha |
According to Ayurveda
Prapancha is that is made of five elements. Earth, water, wind, fire, space.
Everything made of five elements on earth but it doesn’t mean that everything
made of lump of earth and mug of water and so on. It is the quality OF these
element that exist in everything that is manifest. Earth represent the property
of mass and inertia, water denotes fluidity, fire represents heat and warmth,
wind represents instability and movement, finally space represents property of
occupying some space. Human body too comprised of these elements which interact
with each other to perform various bodily function.
When the earth element in
body mainly contribute with solid food that we consume interact with water
element in body that we drink. The properties of these two elements interact to
form kapha.
The properties of kapha
element represents oily, cold, heavy, viscous, smooth, slimy and immobile.

When the water element in
body interact with fire element which is bodily heat then properties of both
element interact to form pitta. The properties of pitta element are
oily, observant, hot, light, odorous, mobile, anger and fluid.
Now when the air element
in body interact with space then resultant properties is vata. Vata
properties are dry, rough, light, cold, and subtle.
Ayurveda represents health as a result of the
balance among these three mixtures. Dominance or weakness of ant one dosha over
the rest leads to imbalance which revel itself disease.
The most noteworthy thing
is the yoga science and Ayurveda approach health and balance of human body.
Vata
– when the vata
element more dominant on pitta and kapha, then body is generally cold, dry and
light. Body often feels restless and active. Vata dominance is not just on the
level of body but on mind as well. As irregular thinking and excessive and fast
speech, people with excessive vata tendencies are light sleepers with excessive
dreams.
Pitta
– when pitta is more
dominant on vata and kapha, the body is generally warm. The people with pitta
imbalance tend to have oily skin and hair, and also thy tend to sweat more than
others. They are also prone to hair fall and pronounce ageing symptoms.
Kapha
– when the kapha
element dominant on pitta and vata, then body feels little more heavy and
inert. People with kapha imbalance generally put on weight easily and have
sound sleep.
Vata, pitta, and kapha
imbalance no need to fix things in life. Just need to have Ayurveda herbs,
change lazy lifestyle, yoga and right food to bring balance for each element
out of vata, pitta, and kapha.
