PHILOSOPHY OF HEALING

WHAT ARE DOSHAS?

Doshas are predominantly made of 5 elements: Earth, water, air, space, and fire. These doshas are essential vital energies behind every bodily function and structure.

Kapha is composed of water and earth. Kapha is responsible for body structure, rejuvenation, stability, energy, and maintaining immunity. When imbalanced, it creates lethargy, overgrowth, blockages, and mucus. For example, heart disease is associated with artery congestion (lipoma, myoma, etc.).

Vata is composed of air and space. It is responsible for every mental, emotional, and physical movement, including urination, bowel movements, intracellular movements, joint & muscle movements, thought processes, and blood, air, and food movements, to name a few. When imbalanced, it disturbs movement and creates tremors, joint stiffness, pain, anxiety, fear, insomnia, lack of energy, degeneration, an over-active mind, and lack of concentration.
