How do doshas manifest in a person?
A Kapha person may be a very stable person mentally that can easily put on weight.
A Vata person can be very up in the clouds, day dream a lot, with a low body weight
Doshas do not just manifest in people they are in everything that is organic around us. Each season has a dosha, each fruit and vegetable has a dosha and even the time of day has a dosha.

Concept of Doshas

Āyurveda groups the five elements: space, air, water, earth and fire into three principles that are present in everything. These three principles are called Doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha; they are each a combination of two elements. Vata being air and space; Pitta being fire and water; & Kapha being earth and water.

Vata- Air & Space
Qualities of Vata are dry, light, cold, rough, subtle, and mobile

How do these qualities manifest in a person?
A Vata person may be a very active person that likes to be on the go and tends to have low body fat.

Pitta- Fire & Water
Qualities of Pitta are hot, sharp, light, unctuous (oily), liquid, pungent, spicy and sour.

How do these qualities manifest in a person?
A Pitta person might have flushed skin because they hold more heat in their body.

Kapha- Earth & Water
Qualities of Kapha are cold, heavy, dense, stable, smooth, sweet, soft, dull, unctuous and slow

What is Ayurveda?

Āyurveda is an ancient Indian healing modality that embodies balance of mind, body and spirit. It is a lifestyle system that helps in the prevention of disease by giving a person a protocol with activities and dietary changes like yoga, meditation, breath work, meal plans, and herbal prescriptions. We do this by examining the imbalances in your life & seeing where changes can be made. Each person has a unique body type or constitution that we call Doshas.

WHY AYURVEDA?

Unique Healing for ALL
Ayurveda examines all aspects of your life to see what causative factors are creating imbalances in your health. Ayurveda understands that nobody is the same or has the same life, there is not a one fit all approach like traditional dietitians. Pura Veda will prescribe what you need to rebalance your life and teach you to heal inside and out.
​
What to Expect
​
Before having any Ayurvedic treatments one must have an Ayurvedic consultation. This consultion will last 60 minutes. I will ask a series of questions about diet, lifestyle, medical history/ family history, emotions, and stressors. Another aspect of the Ayurvedic Consult is getting a pulse reading, which is called Nadi. These aspects will give me a picture as to what is going on in the inside the body to help create a personalized treatment plan for any issues you are dealing with.
