In Ayurveda, every finger represents one of the 5 great elements and together, they form the 3 Doshas that govern your mind & body.
This is the science of cosmic balance 🧵Thread👇
1️⃣ The 5 Elements – Pancha Mahabhutas
Each finger is linked to a core element of the universe:
• Thumb: Agni (Fire) 🔥
• Index: Vayu (Air) 💨
• Middle: Akash (Space) 🌌
• Ring: Prithvi (Earth) 🌍
• Little: Jal (Water) 💧
Your body is made of these.

2️⃣ These elements combine to form Doshas – the bio-energies that define your physical & mental traits:
• VATA = Air + Space
• PITTA = Fire + Water
• KAPHA = Earth + Water
You are born with a unique balance of these called your Prakriti.

3️⃣ VATA Dosha (Index + Middle)
• Movement, breath, creativity
• Traits: Energetic, lean, fast thinker
• Imbalance: Anxiety, dryness, insomnia
Vata governs change. It's like wind - powerful, but unstable.
