Have you ever wondered why certain foods, routines, or even seasons affect you differently than others? Ayurveda—India’s timeless system of holistic health—has answers rooted in nature itself.

What Is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda is a 5,000-year-old science that views health as a dynamic balance between the body, mind, and environment. The word itself means “the science of life.” At its heart, Ayurveda recognizes that every individual is unique, and so are the pathways to healing and optimal living.

Unlike one-size-fits-all wellness trends, Ayurveda offers personalized guidance based on your unique mind-body constitution, known as your Dosha.

The Five Elements and the Three Doshas

Ayurveda is founded on the principle that everything in nature—including the human body—is made up of five elements: Space (Akasha), Air (Vayu), Fire (Tejas), Water (Apas), and Earth (Prithvi).

These five elements combine to form the three Doshas:

Vata (Air + Space): Associated with movement, creativity, lightness, and change.
Pitta (Fire + Water): Governs transformation, digestion, and ambition.
Kapha (Earth + Water): Linked to stability, nourishment, and calm.

Your unique Dosha blend influences everything from your body shape and energy levels to your digestion and emotional tendencies.

Quiz vs. Consultation: Which Is Right for You?

While the quiz offers valuable insight, a full consultation with an Ayurvedic practitioner goes far deeper. During a one-on-one session, we assess not just your Dosha, but also your unique health history, current symptoms, lifestyle, emotional wellbeing, and subtle imbalances. From there, we craft a personalized plan that may include:

Nutrition and herbal support
Dinacharya (daily routine) adjustments
Ayurvedic therapies and detoxification guidance
Mind-body practices like yoga, breathwork, and meditation

Think of the quiz as a compass—and the consultation as the map.

Each complements the other beautifully. Start with the quiz to get a sense of your inner nature, and consider a consultation when you’re ready to take your wellness journey further.
