The Art Of Balancing Doshas For Holistic Wellness

 Why can't you sleep enough? Why are you craving a lot of junk? Why are you feeling stressed all the time? The answers are within you and you need to find them in order to restore the right health.

As per ayurveda, we have five elements in our body namely ether (space), water, air, fire and earth. These elements combine and create doshas which further rule our body temperaments. They often dictate our feelings, our emotions, our regulations between the organs and more. Ether and air combine to make Vata Dosha, fire and water combine to make Pitta Dosha, lastly earth and water combine to make Kapha Dosha. Any imbalance between the two elements leads to the Dosha imbalance further resulting in various problems in our body.
