What is Vata, Pitta, Kapha?
Is it a fanciful construct of whimsical ancients? Or a sophisticated system that has accepted and presupposed scientific discoveries of... thousands of years before our modern science?
Pitta
In humans these descriptive markers of VPK make up who they are, their physical characteristics, what they like, what brings them into balance or feels natural, their emotional, intellectual, and psychological fabric.
Ayurveda also had in its most ancient manifestations, the concepts of these descriptive markers being passed down in families or genetics. In its ancient forms it is thorough; but more beautiful is the living science that Ayurveda is and has become through the beautiful minds of people like my teachers. It is a perfect tool for bringing today's life back into balance!
Everything from foods, sports, colors, tastes, diseases, leisure activities, people and pets can be defined or described by this system.
Vata
Kapha
This is because each person and each and every thing we interact with is a combination of the elements contained in the descriptors VPK that is only specific to their one and only very special make up!
The effects that all foods, activities, surroundings, endeavors and herbal medicines will be unique to every person.
