The doshas
What´s the meaning of Dosha?
Dosha means life energy. Each person has an individual composition of the three Dosha energies Vata, Pitta and Kapha. From the relation of the three to each other, which every person receives from birth, the constitution and personality of the human being emerges. They shape the physical appearance, behavior and susceptibility to disease. If the original Dosha structure is in its harmonious equilibrium and normal state, the human being is healthy, resilient and happy. However, if the three energies are disturbed or in imbalance, a dosha predominates or a dosha is not taken into consideration, then this is the cause of physical and mental complaints of all kinds. This can include everyday problems such as inner restlessness, insomnia, ensure carousel, headaches or listlessness to be serious illnesses like diabetes, rheumatism or cancer. In Ayurveda, all these symptoms are considered to be different expressions of Vata, Pitta and Kapha.
What´s the meaning of Vata?
Vata comes from Sanskrit and means "air, wind". It is responsible for all movements in the body, both physical and mental. Vata stands for the principle of ease and change. As a cosmic connection, it stands for the wind and the basic principle of variability.
Vata is cold, flexible, dry and penetrating. The necessary movements of the breath, the heart and the digestion belong to Vata as well as the nervous system, the movement apparatus and the immune system.

What´s the meaning of Pitta?
Pitta means "bile" and comes from the elements fire and a smaller amount of water. It is responsible for all biochemical activities. Pitta has a relation to the sun and its basic principle is the transformation. It therefore influences the metabolism both in the area of digestion as well as in the range of the mental abilities of a person and its intelligence. The implementation or conversion principle thus takes place both on the physical and the mental level. Pitta is hot and dry.
