Understanding the Doshas

In Ayurveda, everything in nature including us are made up of five elements: earth, water, fire, air, and ether. These elements combine to form three primary energies, known as doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.

Each person carries all three doshas, but usually one or two are more dominant. When our doshas are in balance, we feel grounded, radiant, and well. When they’re out of balance, we may feel off physically, mentally, or emotionally.

Daily rituals, including herbal bathing, are a gentle way to help bring the doshas back into harmony.
