Ayurvedic view about our body

 The word Ayurveda is derived from the Sanskrit language and it means life and longevity. The Ayurvedic philosophy is native to India but has gained popularity all over the world. The basic philosophy of Ayurveda is to balance the mind, body and spirit.In ayurveda our body divided into 3 types 

Vata

Pitta

Kapha

These are called tridhosa The doshas are described as biological energies found throughout the human body and mind.

Vata:

It is responsible for breathing, blinking of our eyes, beating of our heart and many more bodily functions. When balanced, vata is lively and energetic. To keep vata in balance, adequate rest and relaxation are needed. If someone has imbalanced vata, they may face problems like dry hair, dry skin and cough.

Pitta: 

Pitta is the fire element and is responsible for regulating body temperature. It regulates the body temperature through the chemical transformation of food, governing digestion, absorption, assimilation, metabolism and nutrition. Dosha promotes vitality and appetite. People whose pitta dosha is prominent are strong-willed, determined and tend to have leadership qualities.Imbalanced pitta can lead to anger and agitation and can even cause burning disorders such as ulcers and inflammation. To maintain a balance of pitta, massages, inhaling cooling scents like rose, mint and lavender can help.

Kapha:

Kapha dosha helps in maintaining the body resistance. People dominate by this dosha are said to be thoughtful, calm and steady. To maintain a balance of this dosha, gentle exercise, stimulating activities and extra intake of fluids can help. Kapha is responsible for the body's anabolism, the process of building the body, growth and repair and creation of new cells.

Know your dhosa:

A human body can be divided into seven different body types. A person can be vata, pitta, kapha, vata-pitta, pitta-kapha, vata-kapha or tri-dosha. There is no perfect dosha or body type, each category has its own advantage and disadvantages.
