Healing Hands Massage and Ayurvedic Spa Specialist issues helpful hints on engaging a Kapha balanced Ayurvedic Lifestyle. Ayurvedic practitioners, understand that the Universe and all of its components are made up of five elements: space, air, fire, water, earth. Each element relates to one of the five human senses: speech, sight, sound, touch, and taste. Ayurvedic medicine is based on the concept of tridosha, or the three doshas. Doshas are energetic forces that manifest from the five elements to support the basic functions of our mind body connection. All three doshas must work together in harmony to attain perfect well being.
Kapha is earth and provides solidity. Water offers cohesiveness. United, they form the Kapha dosha, which has a heavy, cold, oily and cohesive property. Kapha is responsible for structure and solidity. It stabilizes the subtlety of thoughts in the mind and elongates memory. It also binds and lubricates our physical tissues with mucus, body fluids, and plasma, which provide structure and firmness to the body.
An ‘in balance’ Kapha Affectionate, compassionate, forgiving emotionally steady, relaxed, slow, methodical, good memory, good stamina, stability, natural resistance to sickness.
