About Doshas

namaste text with dosha icons

You might be fidgety yet creative, ambitious yet intense, lazy yet upbeat, or a combination of two or more of them.

What could be called one of the most ancient personality tests, is a time-tested health assessment tool for Ayurvedic practitioners (vaidyas) to understand our bodies better in relation to extrinsic natural elements such as seasonal changes, geography, and environmental factors as well as intrinsic elements through our diet, lifestyle habits, and tendencies of our body & mind.

On that note, Athreya Herbs’ gives you a simple snapshot of the following:

“What Are Doshas?”

Deeply connected to the elements & energies of nature, 'dosha' in a literal sense means 'something unstable'. Our bodies akin to that of planet Earth are believed to possess all the 5 elements of Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, and Space divided into the 3 Major Doshas for optimal self-regulation:

vata-icon

-'Vata' or Wind coupled with Space

pitta-icon

-'Pitta' or Fire paired in balance with Water

Kapha-icon

-'Kapha' or Water combined with Earth


This means that the health of any living creature or even the planet, hinges upon the balanced state of these element-driven bio-energies.

However, doshas can be understood in two ways:

Dosha as a Function:

As mentioned, each person carries all three doshas or bio-energies which are responsible for a variety of natural bodily functions in relation to their governing natural elements:

vata-icon

-Vata's function is 'motion or circulation', responsible for all voluntary & involuntary movements of the body, from proper breathing & heart rate, and consistent waste removal from the body, to our sense organs & their perception.

pitta-icon

-Pitta's function is 'heat or transformation', involved in managing all the conversion & assimilation actions in the body. It is responsible for the digestion of the food we eat, proper metabolic function in different phases, and maintaining body temperature.

Kapha-icon

-Kapha's function is 'grounding or structure' to provide the body with sustenance & stability. Some of its responsibilities include keeping joints connected & lubricated, and strengthening muscles, while moistening tissues, organs, and other body parts.


Dosha as a Body Type & Season:

Likewise, in Ayurveda, each person's body & health is as unique as a fingerprint, which is infused with a ‘primary dosha’ also called 'body type' and ‘secondary dosha’ which is determined by the strongest ‘seasonal effect’ on one’s health. While growing in our mother's womb, our body type is created all the way down to our physique, digestion, immunity, sleep, temperament, attitude, health issues, and even aging work. Our job is to ensure our diet & lifestyle cater to balancing our primary dosha while being mindful of the effects of our secondary dosha. When it comes to your secondary dosha, think of the season which impacts your health the most, that is most likely what yours is:

vata-icon

-'Vata' is linked with Fall & Early Winter

pitta-icon

-'Pitta' is connected to Late Spring & Summer

Kapha-icon

-'Kapha' is associated with Winter & Early Spring

FAST EFFECTIVE WAY TO GET CURED FROM HERPES VIRUS

Hello! I’m very excited to share what worked for me to everyone. I’m completely cured from my HSV1&2 with the use of natural medicine. I have used Oregano oil, Coconut oil, Acyclovir, Valacyclovir, Famciclovir and some other products/supplements and it hasn’t helped ever since I was diagnosed. I got outbreaks frequently and was completely devastated and I went online for a possible cure and how to get rid of Herpes.

On a fateful day after taking my bath, I took my phone and was going through some research, I bumped into a testimonial of a Herbs doctor { Dr Awase } who cures diverse diseases/viruses with Herbal medication. I was hopeful but also doubted the claim. But after a while I thought “what do I have to lose?” so I decided to reach out. He prepared a cure using roots and herbs which I steadily took for 14days as prescribed by him. I am quite glad I decided to reach out because I am totally cured from Herpes after a medical checkup was done by my Dr.

So I’ve decided to make a quick testimony for anyone out there who is probably suffering from an illness they can’t handle to reach out to Dr Awase. He specializes in curing lots of illnesses such as HIV, ENDOMETRIOSIS, PCOS, OVARIAN CYST, INFERTILITY, HEPATITIS A,B,C and lots more. I’m here to let you all know that you can also be cured just like me and you don’t have to live with any sort of illness for the rest of your life.

Miranda,

My name is Nina Williams, and I am divorced. I have three kids with my ex-husband, who messed up my credit report before we got divorced. This made my life with my kids a living hell, and I felt frustrated. However, I met a friend in church who recommended H A C K M A V E N S CREDIT SPECIALIST. I contacted them, and within 7 days, they fixed my credit and increased my score from 515 to 785. Now, I can take loans, own a house, and run a business. If you have any credit-related issues, you can reach out to them via EMAIL: H A C K M A V E N S 5 @ G M A I L. C O M or Call/Text/Whats-App: [+ 1 (2 0 9) 4 1 7 – 1 9 5 7].

Nina Williams,
