Why Ayurveda is the ancient science of life
Ayurveda, an ancient Indian teaching, reveals that our bodies are composed of three vital energies, or doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—each rooted in the earthly elements of fire, water, air, earth, and ether. These doshas shape every aspect of our physical, mental, and emotional well-being, offering a roadmap to living in balance and harmony with nature.
