🧵 Thread: AYURVEDA’S 3 DOSHAS: The Blueprint of Your Body-Mind Type
VATA 🔸 PITTA 🔸 KAPHA

Understanding them is the first step to mastering your health, energy, mood & longevity.

Let’s decode the ancient wisdom👇

🔍 What Are Doshas?

In Ayurveda, Doshas are three bio-energetic forces formed from the Pancha Mahabhutas (5 elements):
🌬️ Vata = Air + Ether
🔥 Pitta = Fire + Water
🌱 Kapha = Earth + Water

They govern all physiological and psychological functions.

🌬️ VATA Dosha – The Energy of Movement
🧠 Traits: Creative, quick-thinking, sensitive
🩺 Physique: Light, dry, agile
💨 Responsible for: Breathing, circulation, nerve impulses, motion

⚠️ Imbalance leads to: Anxiety, insomnia, constipation, dryness

🔥 PITTA Dosha – The Energy of Transformation
🧠 Traits: Focused, analytical, driven
🩺 Physique: Moderate build, warm, oily skin
🔥 Governs: Digestion, metabolism, intellect

⚠️ Imbalance leads to: Anger, heartburn, inflammation, perfectionism

🌱 KAPHA Dosha – The Energy of Structure & Cohesion
🧠 Traits: Calm, loyal, nurturing
🩺 Physique: Solid, slow metabolism, smooth skin
🌧️ Governs: Immunity, lubrication, growth, stability

⚠️ Imbalance leads to: Lethargy, weight gain, congestion, depression

🧬 You Are a Unique Dosha Constitution (Prakriti)
Each person is born with a specific Dosha ratio.
Most people are:
• Dominant in 1 Dosha (e.g. Vata)
• Dual types (e.g. Vata-Pitta)
• Very few are Tridoshic (balanced)

Know your Prakriti → Know your health path.

📉 Dosha Imbalance = Vikriti
Modern lifestyle, diet, stress, and climate disturb our natural balance.
This imbalance (vikriti) is the root of disease.

Ayurveda's goal: Restore Prakriti by managing Vikriti.

🧠 Mental Tendencies by Dosha:
🌀 Vata → Imaginative, scattered, prone to worry
🔥 Pitta → Sharp, judgmental, intense focus
🌊 Kapha → Content, slow-paced, emotionally steady

Emotional awareness is Dosha awareness.

🍽️ Diet Guidelines by Dosha:
🥘 Vata: Warm, moist, grounding foods (ghee, oats, root veggies)
🥗 Pitta: Cooling, mildly spiced, hydrating foods (coconut, cucumber)
🍵 Kapha: Light, spicy, dry foods (millets, ginger, legumes)

🧘 Lifestyle for Balance:
🌬️ Vata: Routine, warmth, oil massage
🔥 Pitta: Rest, nature, compassion practices
🌱 Kapha: Exercise, lightness, stimulation

Your day should match your Dosha’s needs.

🌿 Dosha-Specific Herbs:
🌬️ Vata: Ashwagandha, Bala, Licorice
🔥 Pitta: Brahmi, Shatavari, Guduchi
🌱 Kapha: Tulsi, Trikatu, Punarnava

These herbs help correct energetic imbalances at the root.

🧭 Work & Productivity by Dosha:
🌬️ Vata: Inspired starters, visionary thinkers
🔥 Pitta: Strategic planners, goal crushers
🌱 Kapha: Reliable maintainers, team supporters

Your Dosha determines your natural career rhythm.

💤 Sleep by Dosha:
🌬️ Vata: Light sleepers, prone to insomnia
🔥 Pitta: Need cooling down before bed
🌱 Kapha: Heavy sleepers, may oversleep

Ayurveda aligns even your sleep hygiene with your constitution.

🕰️ Daily Routine (Dinacharya):
🌞 Morning: Kapha-dominant – ideal for movement
🌞 Midday: Pitta-dominant – best for meals & productivity
🌜 Evening/Night: Vata-dominant – time to rest, reflect & relax

Even time has a Dosha.

🧘‍♂️ Yoga by Dosha:
🌬️ Vata: Slow, grounding practices (Yin Yoga)
🔥 Pitta: Cooling & balancing (Moon Salutations)
🌱 Kapha: Energizing, heating styles (Vinyasa, Power Yoga)

Movement heals when matched with your energy type.

📿 Spiritual Evolution & Doshas:
🌬️ Vata → Bhakti (Devotion)
🔥 Pitta → Jnana (Knowledge)
🌱 Kapha → Karma (Service)

Each Dosha has a pathway to the divine. Ayurveda supports not just the body - but also the soul.

⚠️ Don’t Try to Change Your Dosha
You can’t change your Prakriti - but you can manage your Vikriti.
Healing begins when you honor your type and live accordingly.

Ayurveda is not about becoming someone else - it's about coming back to yourself.

🌟 In Summary:
🌬️ VATA = Movement
🔥 PITTA = Transformation
🌱 KAPHA = Structure

Know them. Balance them. Respect them.

This is Ayurveda - the art of living in tune with your nature.
