The three doshas
Every body has its own weather
Vata
air and space
Creative, quick and light, but prone to dry skin, cold hands and a busy mind.
Calmed by warm, oily and slow therapies.
Pitta
fire and water
Focused, sharp and warm, but prone to heat, irritation and burning out.
Calmed by cool, sweet and soothing therapies.
Kapha
earth and water
Steady, calm and strong, but prone to sluggish mornings and heaviness.
Calmed by warm, dry and stimulating therapies.
