Ether, air, land and water, the five basic elements are manifested in the human body as three basic principles or humors, known as the tirdosha. From the ether and air manifests bodily air principle called vata. (In Sanskrit terminology, this principle is known as vata-dosha). Fire and water elements are expressed together in the body as the principle of fire called pitta. The land and water are expressed as the water called kapha humor.
These three elements - Vata, Pitta and Kapha - govern all biological functions, psychological and pathological body, mind and consciousness. They act as basic constituents and protective barriers of the body in its normal physiological condition. When unbalanced, contribute to the disease process.
The tirdosha is responsible for the "natural needs and preferences
Individual s at each meal: taste, temperature and others. She rules the creation, maintenance and destruction of tissues, the elimination of body wastes. It is also responsible for the psychological behavior, so it includes emotions such as fear, anger, greed and the highest as understanding, compassion and love. Ie tirdosha the psychosomatic basis of the existence of man.
The basic constitution of each individual is determined at conception. At the time of fertilization, the male unit, the sperm joins with the female unit, the egg. It is in this union, the constitution of the individual is determined because wings permutations and combinations of air, fire, water and earth in the body of the parent.
In general, there are seven types of constitutions: 1) VATA, 2) PITTA, 3) KAPHA, 4) vata-pitta, 5) pitta-kapha, 6) Vata-Kapha, 7) vata-pitta-kapha.
Among these seven general types, there are many subtle variations that depend on the proportion of vata, pitta and kapha that exists in the constitution.
prakruti in Sanskrit is called the constitution, a term that means "nature", "creativity" or "the first creation." In the body, the first expression of the five elements is the constitution. The basic constitution of the individual remains fixed throughout life, as it is genetically determined. The combination of the elements is present at birth is constant, but the combination of the continuous governing body pathological changes, it changes in response to environmental changes.
During life, there is an ongoing interaction between the internal environment and external. The external environment comprises the cosmic forces (macrocosm), while the principles of vata, pitta and kapha governs the internal forces (microcosm). A basic tenet of Ayurveda is that it can balance the internal forces operating in the individual, changing diet and habits, as necessary, to counteract the changes in its external environment.
Understanding Tirdosha
According to Ayurveda, the first requirement for self-healing and healing others is the understanding of the three doshas. The concept of vata, pitta and kapha in Ayurveda is unique and has the power to revolutionize Western healing systems. However, the concept of these three principles and the Sanskrit words vata, pitta and kapha are difficult to translate into Western terms.
Vata is the principle of movement. What moves is called vata and thus can be translated as the principle AIR corporeal. But the air element of atmosphere is not the same as the body. Air corporeal or vata is characterized by the subtle energy that governs biological motion. This principle of biological motion generates all the subtle changes in metabolism. Vata is composed of ether and air elements. Vata governs breathing, blinking, moving muscles and tissues, pulsations of the heart, all expansion and contraction, the movements of cytoplasm and cell membranes, and the simple movement of nerve impulses. Vata also governs feelings such as nervousness, fear, anxiety, pain, tremors and spasms. Vata is seated in the large intestine, pelvic cavity, bones, skin, ears and thighs. If the body develops vata in excess will accumulate in these areas. PITTA
results FIRE as though the term literally has not this meaning. The fire of a candle or fireplace can be seen, but the heat-energy of the body, pitta-dosha, which manifests as metabolism is not visible. Pitta governs digestion, absorption, assimilation, nutrition, metabolism, body temperature, skin color, the luster of the eyes, the intelligence and understanding. Psychologically, pitta arouses anger, anger, hatred and jealousy. Places of pitta are the small intestine, sweat glands, stomach, blood, adipose tissue, eyes and skin. Pitta is formed by the elements fire and water. Translating
BIOLOGICAL WATER KAPHA is . This principle is formed by two elements: water and land. Kapha consolidates the substance of the body generating the elements of their physical structure. This dosha maintains body resistance. Water is the main constituent of kapha and is responsible for biological strength and natural resistance of body tissues. Kapha lubricates the joints, provides moisture to the skin, helps heal wounds, fills the spaces of the body, giving strength, vigor and stability, support memory retention, gives energy to the heart and lung lungs and keeps
immunity. Kapha is present in the chest, throat, head, sinuses, nose, mouth, stomach, joints, cytoplasm, plasma and body secretions seromucous. Psychologically, kapha is responsible for emotions of attachment, greed and envy, is also expressed in tendencies toward calmness, love and forgiveness. The breast is the site of kapha.
tridosha balancing the need for health. For example, the principle of air can ignite the fire of the body, but water is needed to control the fire. Otherwise, the fire burned body tissues. Vata pitta and kapha moves as this are immobile. The tri-dosha governs the activities of metabolism: anabolism (kapha), catabolism (vata) and metabolism (pitta). When vata is unbalanced, the metabolism is disturbed, resulting in excessive catabolism, causing the deterioration of the body. When anabolism is greater than catabolism, there is an increase in the growth and repair of organs and tissues. Kapha excess increases the rate of anabolism and excess vata creates emaciation (catabolism).
In childhood, anabolism and kapha are predominant element, it is the time of physical growth. In adulthood, the element metabolism and pitta are the most important because this time the body is mature and stable. During old age, catabolism and vata are more obvious: the body begins to deteriorate.
