The five elements refine into three types of functional, energetic principles known as bodily humors or Doshas. These are: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Each Dosha has a myriad of physical, emotional, mental characteristics and tendencies that combine at conception to form the foundation of our individual constitution known as our Prakriti or “first creation” Our Prakriti never changes. When we are in a state of imbalance this is called Vikruti or “current state.” Ayurveda guides us to be proactive with our health and reclaim our own unique state of equilibrium.

Recommendations:

  • Aim not to rush off to another activity after your treatment. Allow time to shower and have a warm meal.
  • Avoid scheduling an appointment if you are experiencing a cold or flu like symptoms.  Wait until you are feeling better and your symptoms have subsided. We can then focus on designing treatments that can help rebuild and strengthen your immune system.
