Ayurveda is an ancient Indian medical science that originated over 5,000 years ago. According to Ayurveda, the human body is made up of five elements - earth, water, fire, air, and space. There are three doshas or energies in the body known as Vaata, Pitta, and Kapha, which are combinations of the five elements. This natural healthcare guide provides information on balancing the doshas through diet, exercise, digestion, and detoxification to achieve health, longevity, and remedies for general health, beauty, fitness, and weight loss.
