Ayurveda believes that the
universe is made up of 5 elements, namely, Air, Ether, Fire,
Water and Earth. We are also made up of these elements as we
are part of the organism of the universe. However, in each of
us these elements are put in different proportions. This is
why each and everyone of us are unique. The 5 elements create
three major energy forces called the "Doshas". They are namely
Vaadha (ruled by air and ether), Pittha (ruled by fire and
water and Kabha (ruled by water and earth). Your body type
will determine your build, texture, habits, vulnerabilities
and strengths. These will be based on the attributes of the
elements predominant in you.With this brief overview, you can
find out what is your body type. Have a great time finding out
more about your body.
