Understanding Doshas

Ayurveda recognizes three fundamental energies: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.

Each person's unique combination of doshas influences their constitution, temperament, and health.

Balancing Doshas

Ayurveda restores doshic balance through personalized lifestyle modifications, dietary recommendations, herbal remedies, detoxification therapies, and mind-body practices.

• Treatment approaches are tailored to meet individual needs.

Assessment of Prakriti

• Ayurvedic practitioners evaluate physical characteristics, mental attributes, lifestyle, and health history to determine an individual's prakriti.

• This assessment helps identify the individual's doshic constitution and any existing imbalances.

​

Dietary Recommendations

• Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of diet in health maintenance and disease prevention.

• Dietary suggestions consider one's doshic constitution and focus on fresh, organic, locally sourced whole foods to balance the doshas.

Herbal Remedies

• Ayurveda utilizes medicinal herbs and botanicals to address imbalances based on their specific properties and effects on the doshas.

• Herbal remedies may include teas, powders, tinctures, or oils tailored to individual health concerns.

Detoxification Therapies

• Therapies may involve oil massage, herbal steam therapy, therapeutic vomiting, purgation, or nasal cleansing.
