According to Ayurveda, we are born perfect. It is lifestyles, influences, relationships and habits that are incompatible with one's constitution that takes us out of that perfection. In Ayurvedic science, you learn that your body type has its' own "Constitution" or "Dosha". There are 3 Doshas; Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Drawing upon six tastes, the five elements, and twenty qualities, you will develop a deeper philosophy of natures' rhythms and cycles, and an understanding towards balancing your specific Dosha.
Ayurveda, the science (veda) of life (ayur), is the sister science to yoga. It concentrates on healthy digestion, a balanced lifestyle, and herbs, food, and spices as "medicines" for maintaining balance in your body. It follows the rhythms and tendencies exemplified by Mother Nature in her simplicity. If we desire balance in our lives, then we, too, must consider our natural tendencies and rhythms in body, mind, and emotions in order to harmonize them with the external cycles. We can swim upstream against the current of life or we can choose to turn around and go with the flow.
Through the lens of ayurveda we can see that all things in the universe are governed by three forces-wind, fire, and water. Vata, the elemental principle of wind, is cold and dry like the winter season, and it governs all movement and transition like sunrise and sunset, the transition between dark and light. Movement in the body is carried out through the nervous system, so vata is intimately related to the brain and central nervous system. Pitta, the elemental principle of fire, is hot and moist like the summer season, bright and intense like the peak of the sun at noon. Pitta governs transformation in all things. Just as a fire can transform wood into ashes, the fire of digestion can transform food into energy for our body. The elemental water principle kapha is cool and wet like spring or a misty morning. Kapha combines the lubrication of the water element with the stability of the earth element to create all the solid structures of the body-the bones, joints, and muscles.
These three forces are present in all things from a single cell to the cycle of the day or season, and they keep each other in perfect balance. Winter's dryness (vata) is balanced by the moisture of spring (kapha), and the cold accumulated in these times is melted away by the heat of summer (pitta). Then the cycle completes itself as the excess heat of summer is soothed by the cooling of the coming fall and winter. Opposite qualities bring balance. This is the basis of all ayurvedic treatment.

Ayurveda is the knowledge that we all possess and experience every day. If we take time to listen, our body's wisdom will tell us what we need in each and every moment. If you are feeling chilled, you seed the warmth of a fire or a hot drink. When you are hot from working in the sun, you seek shade or a cool drink. Opposite qualities bring balance. This is the knowledge can create true health and vitality. This is Ayurveda.
