There are fundamental elements in Ayurveda that make up the building blocks of humans and nature. Ayurveda sees each individual as unique: Our physical bodies are made up of the five elements, but the proportions of each element in our bodies differ. In Ayurveda, this specific elemental combination is referred to as our dosha, or constitution. The five elements combined to make up our individual doshas are earth, water, fire, air, and ether. These doshas are organized into three categories: Vata (air and ether), Pitta (fire and water), and Kapha (earth and water). We are all born with a primary dosha type and an optimal elemental prakruti (balance); however, due to what our five senses experience daily, such as the weather, food, music, exercise, and environment, our prakruti is often antagonized, and we find ourselves out of balance (vikruti). This means when our elements are bent out of shape, so are we, and this includes our sleep patterns!kenget me te reja 2022
