In an incessant loop of life, humans are born out of the physical and eternal fusion of ‘Purush’ and ‘Prakriti’ according to Samkhya philosophy. Framed in the context of the five elements (Space, Earth, Water, Fire, and Air) of the human body, Ayurvedic medicine balances the routine functions.
Dating back to the Vedic era, Ayurveda has essentials that boost human health. The balanced concoction of the basic five elements of the human body results in three doshas like Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Among the three doshas, Vata leads the three ayurvedic principles. These three Prakriti principles make up the energy and sync our mind and body better.
Prakriti Doshas: Impact on Body
Proportions of doshas directly impact our physical, mental, and behavioral characteristics.
Each dosha has primarily two elements as:
- Vata - Air and space or ether
Vata contributes to the regulation of mental and physiological activities in our body. The bodily movements processed at the microcellular and macroscopic level are managed by Vata balance. Excess buildup of Vata is accumulated in the large intestine, pelvic area, knees, skin, and ears of the human body. Disproportionated by our dietary standards, Vata results in anxiety, insomnia, and flatulence.
- Pitta - Fire and water
Responsible for maintaining temperature equilibrium, Pitta manages digestion, absorption, assimilation, nutrition, and metabolism through chemical conversion of food into energy. It promotes vitality thereby increasing appetite. Pitta imbalance shows agitation and burning disorders as its consequences.
- Kapha - Water and earth
To keep your skin nourished and glowing, it maintains the constituents in the human body. Kapha helps maintain body resistance. Kapha is primarily accountable for anabolism (the process of creating and growing new cells) thereby contributing to the healthy growth of your body. If the extent of Kapha deflects from adequate proportion, weight gain, fluid retention, allergies, and fatigue are its consequences.
Are doshas syncing well in your body?
The adequacy of doshas is directly proportionate to the wellness of your body. Though derived from certain physical and behavioral changes in the body, dosha imbalance is a menace to our body.
Well, doshas imbalance is determined from the following symptoms:
- Constipation
- Dehydration
- Tremors
- Stiffness
- Nausea
- Congestion
- Swellings
Balancing Ayurvedic Diet: Achieve Optimal Health
Tri-dosha governs vital bodily functions. A unique ratio of these doshas determines the ayurvedic condition of humans.
Harmonizing doshas can be a bit of a tedious task. Protein, warming foods, creamy drinks can be nourishing and grounding to maintain Vata. It tends to skew towards dryness which is a direct call to stay hydrated.
Pitta pacifying foods stimulate the bowel movements for a happy and healthy gut. The food includes sweet and juicy fruits that calm the internal inflammation in the body.
Bring back Kapha into balance with peppers, berries, cherry, spinach, and other pacifying foods. Light, cold, and energizing eatables are preferred to consume to placate the degree of Kapha.
