Ayurveda, the traditional medicine of India with over 5,000 years of history, teaches that each person is born with a unique combination of energies that determine their physical, mental, and emotional makeup.These energies —called doshas— are three: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.
Knowing your dosha is like having an internal map that guides you toward balance and wellness.

🔥 Pitta — The Transforming Fire
