Ayurveda is India’s traditional system of health and healing,during the entire span of life. Ayurveda stresses a balance of three elemental energies or humors: vata (air & space – "wind"), pitta (fire & water – "bile") and kapha (water & earth – "phlegm"). According to ayurveda, these three regulatory principles or doshas are important for health, because when they are in a balanced state, the body will function to its fullest, and when imbalanced, the body will be affected negatively. Ayurveda holds that each human possesses a unique combination of doshas. In ayurveda, It is believed that building a healthy metabolic system, attaining good digestion, and proper excretion leads to vitality. Ayurveda also focuses on exercise, yoga, meditation, and massage. Thus, body, mind, and spirit/consciousness need to be addressed both individually and in unison for health to ensue.
