Ayurveda is a science that takes care of your every realm - mental, physical and spiritual. What is good for one person isn't good always good for everyone.Ayurvedic philosophy says that we are each born with some of the characteristics of all three types, but in different proportions.
Healing in Ayurveda is carried out by first identifying your unique dosha (skin/body ). Each dosha combines in a special way the five elements of the universe (air, fire, water, earth, space).
Vata: Vata is considered the leader of the three Ayurvedic Principles in the body. Vata governs all movement in the mind and body. It controls blood flow, elimination of wastes, breathing and the movement of thoughts across the mind. It's very important to keep Vata in good balance. The related elements are Air and Ether
