Balance your body. Nourish your soul.

Ayurveda is a traditional system of medicine that originated in India over 5,000 years ago. More than just a health practice, it’s a holistic lifestyle philosophy that seeks to bring balance to body, mind, and spirit through natural methods—like healing herbs, mindful routines, and the power of food as medicine.

At the heart of Ayurveda are the five elements:
🌿 Earth
💧 Water
🔥 Fire
💨 Air
🌌 Ether (Space)

These elements combine to form three powerful energies known as the Doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Each of us carries a unique blend of these doshas, which shape how we feel, think, digest, and move through life.

✧ VATA Dosha

Air + Ether — The energy of movement and creativity

Vata governs motion, breath, and communication. People with strong Vata energy are often imaginative, light, and quick-thinking—but may also feel scattered or anxious when out of balance.

When balanced:

• Energetic and inspired
• Mentally clear and expressive
• Flexible and lively

Out of balance:

• Anxiety, dry skin, constipation
• Restlessness or overwhelm
• Trouble sleeping

To balance Vata:

• Favor warm, grounding foods
• Keep a steady daily routine
• Stay warm and hydrated

✧ PITTA Dosha

Fire + Water — The energy of transformation and digestion

Pitta governs digestion, metabolism, and clarity. Pitta types are driven, sharp, and passionate. When balanced, they are natural leaders; when imbalanced, they may feel irritable or overheated.

When balanced:

• Strong focus and determination
• Healthy digestion and glowing skin
• Clear thinking and inspiration

Out of balance:

• Anger, inflammation, heartburn
• Criticism, perfectionism
• Skin rashes or overheating

To balance Pitta:

• Eat cooling, hydrating foods
• Avoid heat and overexertion
• Embrace calmness, rest, and creativity

✧ KAPHA Dosha

Earth + Water — The energy of stability and nourishment

Kapha governs structure, strength, and emotional stability. When in balance, Kapha types are loyal, calm, and nurturing. Out of balance, they may feel heavy, lethargic, or stuck.

When balanced:

• Grounded and compassionate
• Physically strong and emotionally steady
• Deep sleep and endurance

Out of balance:

• Sluggishness, congestion, weight gain
• Emotional resistance, attachment
• Lack of motivation

To balance Kapha:

• Favor light, warming, and spicy foods
• Stay active and stimulated
• Seek out variety and inspiration

🌿 Living in Harmony with Your Nature

Understanding your dosha helps you tune in to your body’s unique needs. Ayurveda teaches that healing begins with awareness—by recognizing when we’re out of balance, we can gently return to a state of harmony using nature, intention, and mindful care.

Whether you’re predominantly Vata, Pitta, Kapha, or a combination, Ayurveda invites you to honor your essence, live with the rhythms of nature, and care for yourself in a deeply personal way.
