Elements and Constitution
According to Ayurvedic philosophy, everyone is born with a unique constitution known as Prakruti. The Prakruti is a unique combination of physical and psychological traits that determine how each individual works. It is established from conception.
Each person’s unique Prakruti, or constitution, is made up of three qualities known as Doshas. Ayurvedic ideology holds that the 5 natural elements of nature come together to form the 3 doshas, each of which has a distinct influence on body processes -
Vata = Space and Air
Pitta = Water and Fire
Kapha = Water and Earth
