The types of constitution -
A basic element of Ayurvedic teaching

As mentioned in the overview, there exist the 5 elements of life, earth, water, fire, air and space (ether) in every human being in the form of the 3 so-called Doshas Vata (air & space), Pitta (fire & water) and Kapha (Earth & Water ).
According to the ayurvedic medicine there are all of these 3 Doshas available in the body of each person - but each with different weightings.
Usually two of the three doshas predominate in the human body. Depending on the doshas which dominate the physical, there are different types of constitution. It may be that one person is more a Kapha-Pitta type, while another another patient embodies the nature of Vatta and Kapha more dominant.
In Ayurveda, it is very important to determine the significance of the particular type of constitution. Because all the individual treatments, consisting of applications, ayurvedic medicines, nutritional advices, speacial treatments, etc., completely refer to it.
Before I treat you ayurvedicly I always first determine your individual constitution type. For a personally effective diagnosis and treatment of your special symptoms is assured - for your healthy future. Just give me a call!
