Tridosha : An Ayurvedic Philosophy

Ayurved or traditional Indian health system which is based on herbs and grocery shop items has a unique way of treating and ascertaining a health problem/disease called Tridosha. Every ayurvedic treatement is based on the philosophy of Tridosha, balance between three elements namely Vaat, Pitta and Kapha.

These three elements are said to be in balance for a healthy person and when this balance is disturbed due to any reason a person starts showing sign of illness/disease. Ayurvedic treatment/cure tries to reinstate this balance in human body to regain health and wellness.

We cannot compare Ayurveda with other forms of health care system because each one of them is based on a different set of principles and therefore each will look at the health problem/disease from a different angle and so will be there method of treatment/curing.

Tridosha Vaata, Pitta & Kapha Theory

Traditional Ayurvedic theory for Total Health Care

Traditional Ayurvedic theory of Vaata, Pitta and Kapha is not only limited to health and wellness but it also refers to our nature, body type, temper etc. Even food, drink and eatables are classified under these three categories, which gives an idea of how eating and drinking is related to health and fitness, behavior etc according to ayurvedic principles.

According to Ayurveda:
Vaata or Vata is related to air.
Pitta is related to bile.
Kapha or Kafa is related to phlegm.

The philosophy of tridosha theory is also followed in Yoga, pranayama and even in rituals. Just like the way people misunderstand Yoga to be a form of exercise or some others think it to be a heath care system, some others think it to be a way to calm mind and relieve everyday stress or an aid for meditation, Ayurveda is also misunderstood, people often compare Ayurvedic treatments with other health therapies which often results in wrong predictions.
