Body Elements & Constitution (Prakriti)

There are five elements of which the human body is made up of : akasha (ether)
Vayu (air)
Agni (Fire)
Jala (Water) and Prithvi (earth).

Because of the above five elements
all human beings are constituted with a combination of two or three primary ones. Those are called body humours or Doshas: Kapha
Vata and Pitta. Any person is easy to treat with the identification of his/her category.

Vata category is combination of space and air elements : People are fearful
illogical and insecure. Skin is dry. They have thin hair. They have dark brown or grey eyes. Vata activates the nervous system
hearing and speech and the persons is a great enthusiast with creativity. However
the state of his mind gets imbalanced easily because of which he gets diseases like insomnia
cramps and constipation.
Pitta category is fire element : These people are achievers
intellectual
fiery
angry
judgemental
with clear voice and precise expression. They have soft and fine hair. Eyes are blue
grey and hazel. They are good leaders and warm personality when healthy. Because of emphasis on metabolism and anger
they suffer from acidity
ulcers and rashes and also thinning of hair occurs.

Kapha category is(water and earth element : They have thick lustrous hair. Eyes are blue or brown. People have great endurance capacity with calm and steady mind. They are capable of forgiveness and intense love. Sometimes they are greedy and possessive. Kapha is the lubricant that keeps the joints working

Nature of ailments

After the Prakriti is decided
one should know the nature of the diseases(Vikriti). It is imbalance obviously
but there are tow extremes to every imbalance
either deficiency or excess. Those are heavy-light
slow-sharp
cold-hot
unctuous-dry
smooth-rough
solid-liquid
soft-hard
stable-mobile
subtle-gross
and non-slimmy-slimmy. When corrected
Prakriti or original constitution is restored.

These 20 characteristics that with regards to one’s basic constitution will decide the treatment. These may be caused by wrong foods causing improper digestion
wrong sleeping habits
improper mindset
anxiety etc.

The other type of ailment is clogging or blockage (Ama) for life energy to circulate for vitality. When this is corrected
it produces energy

physical strength and hence a general sense of bliss which is summarised in Ayurveda in one word called Ojas.
