About 5Elements Wellness
Our Philosophy
Ayurveda is an ancient holistic health care system, originating in India over 5,000 years ago .
The term Ayurveda comes from two Sanskrit words - Ayur meaning Life and Veda meaning Science.
The “Science of Life” is a complete philosophy that encourages the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle, naturally through mind, body and spirit balance.
The Dosha Principles
In Ayurveda, the fundamental principles of the human body are made of the five elements: Space, Air, Fire, Earth and Water. Maintaining the balance of the five elements is through the Dosha Principles to identify your Prakruiti - natural state and your Vikruiti - imbalanced state..
The three Doshas are:
Vata - combination of Air and Space
Pitta - combination of Fire and Water
Kapha - combination of Water and Earth
The Doshas govern all aspects of physical and mental health so by knowing your governing Dosha we can identify your imbalanced Dosha and make dietary and lifestyle suggestions that bring the body back into balance.
