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....

 

Tips to Balance Vata -

* Warm temperatures

* Warm, cooked foods (less raw foods)

* Early bedtime, lots of rest and sleep

* Favor warm, oily, heavy, sweet, sour, and salty tastes
