Therapy Ayurveda believes that the human body is made up of three principles which are combinations of the elements: Air, Ether, Fire, Water and Earth, called Doshaswhich are:
– Vata Dosha (ether and air): It controls basic body functions such as cell division, respiration, blood flow, mind, heart function and detoxification of the body through the intestines;
– Pitta Dosha (fire and water): It controls the metabolism and digestion of food, and hormones related to appetite;
– Kapha Dosha (water and land): It controls muscle strength and growth, weight, body stability and the immune system.
The aim of Ayurveda is to harmonize these elements within the body to promote health and prevent disease. This is achieved through a combination of diet, exercise, meditation, massage, medicinal herbs and other methods.
