"If someone wishes for good health,
one must first ask oneself
if he is ready to do away
with reasons for his illness.
Only then it is possible to help him."
-Hippocrates-
Balance and Imbalance:
Ayurveda defines that health is a balanced state of Doshas i.e Vata, Pitta & Kapha and sickness is due to an imbalance of one or combinations of doshas. A balanced state of dosha in Sanskrit is called Prakriti and an imbalanced state is called Vikriti.
Personalized Health program for prevention or restoring balance:
Our individual body/mind type, as determined by the relative dominance of the three doshas, is identified through our physical traits, biorhythms, mental state, personality, behavior, life style, likes and dislikes. Each of these doshas can either be in a state of balance and harmony or in a state of imbalance. A very effective way of diagnosing imbalances in the doshas is through a consultation with a physician trained in the art of Ayurveda and pulse diagnosis. Pulse diagnosis is an invaluable tool, as it allows the physician to detect imbalance in the early stages of the disease process, and therefore sickness can be averted even before symptoms arise.

Vata is composed of Air and Space elements. Air gives Vata a moving nature. Physiologically Vata represents the nervous system which controls all movement, breathing, transport of material within the body, and all elimination and secretions and at a subtle level even thought processes. It regulates the heartbeat and the nerve impulses.
Vata-predominant people have a light bone structure and low weight and they find it hard to gain weight. They have a tendency toward irregular appetite, bowel movements and sleep. As vata people usually have cold hands and feet, they prefer hot temperatures and like warm and spicy foods and drinks. They are enthusiastic, imaginative and talkative.
If vata goes out of balance, physiologically they will experience a combination of symptoms like constipation, dry and hard stool, gas and bloating. Mentally they will often experience nervousness, anxiety, worries and sleep problems. Vata dosha is easily brought out of balance, even in people with only a small proportion of vata.

Pitta is composed of Fire and Water elements. Fire gives Pitta a heating nature which enables digestion and metabolism. Physiologically Pitta represents the digestive system and specifically enzymes and hormones which control the digestion of food as well as its metabolism into tissues. Pitta also helps to regulate body temperature, sharpness in eyesight and intellect.
Pitta-predominant people have a medium body frame and generally have ideal weight and have no issues with weight. They usually have good appetite and can’t miss meals and become upset by a delay of meals when hungry. Pitta people usually sweat easily and prefer mild spicy food and cool weather. Pitta people are generally well organized and goal oriented and are perfectionist by nature. They become angry and frustrated if people and things don’t work according to their plan.
If Pitta gets out of balance physiologically it can manifest as one or a combination of symptoms like inflammation in joints, skin rashes, loose bowels etc. and mentally they can show outbursts of anger, irritability and frustration.
