Article -
Topic of this month is "TRIDOSHA - Fundamental principle of Ayurveda" . Tridosha - Vata,Pitta and Kapha - is one of the most fundamental ideas in Ayurveda and understanding it carefully is an essential step in the study of Ayurveda. TRIDOSHA (THE THREE HUMOURS)
All matter is thought to he composed of five basic elements ( panchamahabhutas ) which exhibit the properties of earth (prithvi), water (jala), fire (tejas), wind (vayu) and space (akasha).
The structural aspect of our body is made up of five elements, but the functional aspect of the body is governed by three biological humors.
Ether and air together constitute VATA; fire and water,PITTA; and water and earth, KAPHA. ....
Doshas are to be seen as all pervasive, subtle entities, Vata regulates movement and is represented by the nervous system. Pitta is the principle of biotransformation and is the cause of all metabolic processes in the body. Kapha is the principle of cohesion and functions through the body fluids. In every person these three doshas differ in permutations and combinations and thereby determine the physiologic constitution(Prakriti) of an individual.Vata, pitta and kapha are distinctly present in every individual and express in each human being differently according to predominance of their different qualities (gunas).....
VATA -- The Air or Nerve System Humor
vata is dry, light, cold, mobile, active, clear, astringent, and it is dispersing.Vata season is autumn, time of day is afternoon and early morning.
Types of Vata ,Symptoms of Vata Imbalance.....
Vata Personality--
If a person has excess vata in his or her constitution, because of the dry quality, he or she will have dry hair, dry skin, dry colon and a tendency towards constipation. Because of the light quality, which is opposite of heavy, the vata person will have a light body frame, light muscles, and light fat, and so will be thin and underweight....
