Understanding the Fundamentals of Ayurveda: The Three Doshas

All matter, including the human body, is composed of five elements that serve as the building blocks of existence. In living matter, three forces known as doshas govern all psycho-physiological processes. These doshas, which means "that which causes things to decay," can lead to disease when out of balance with one's constitutional nature or environment. The three doshas are Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.

Vata, meaning "that which moves things," is primarily composed of air with ether as a secondary element. It is responsible for bodily movement and sensations, as well as mental balance and comprehension. 

Pitta, meaning "that which digests things," is primarily made up of fire with water as a secondary element. It regulates chemical and metabolic transformations in the body and governs our ability to digest ideas and impressions. 

Kapha, meaning "that which holds things together," is primarily made up of water with earth as a secondary element. It provides strength and stability to the body and mind, and supports the healing process.

Together, the three doshas govern all the activities of life, including catabolism (Vata), metabolism (Pitta), and anabolism (Kapha). An excess of Vata leads to a breakdown of the body's defenses, an excess of Pitta leads to disturbances in metabolism and heat production, and an excess of Kapha leads to increased tissue growth and weight gain.

Ayurveda + Christianne have absolutely changed my life. I was struggling with fatigue, gut health, dry eyes, achey joints, etc. And also had dermatitis around my face and mouth and couldn't figure out how to heal it. After one visit with Christianne, she was able to get me on track with the correct diet for my Pitta dosha along with herbal supplements to support my detox. I felt better within 1-2 weeks of following her guidance - it was seriously MAGIC. I had energy again, all of my dermatitis went away, and I just felt alive for the first time in a long time. She has helped me to understand how foods and emotions affect the body and how to keep myself in balance. And she helped me to release some guilt/grief I had been storing for years. Ayurveda is very gentle and is a true mind and body detox. Would highly recommend Christianne!!

Christianne is wonderfully intuitive and has a healing touch full of positive energy. My shirodhara experience opened my spirit and helped me embrace my journey, self and others with more love and compassion.

It took some time for me to make the decision to make an appointment with Christianne because I knew I‘d need to make huge changes. I started my program with her 2 weeks ago and the changes are unbelievable. I feel much better, my pain levels are lower, and I can see a much better future for my health and my body. It was up to me to take care of myself (who else?) and putting my body in the right hands. Christianne definitely is the right person for me, kind, committed and loving.
