Raw Garlic Cloves
For centuries, garlic has been celebrated as the poor man’s medicine and the wise man’s treasure. When eaten raw, its strength shines brightest — the compound allicin, released when garlic is crushed or chopped, works like a natural antibiotic, antioxidant, and detox agent all at once.
Three Dosha in ayurveda
we enter the ancient river of Āyurveda, where health is poetry and balance is divine order
In Ayurveda, the body, mind, and spirit are seen as a delicate orchestra of energies called the Tridoṣa — Vāta, Pitta, and Kapha. These are not merely humors or fluids but cosmic principles that govern everything in the universe — from the movement of planets to the rhythm of your heartbeat. Let’s explore each one, with reverence and rhythm:
🌬 1. Vāta Dosha — The Wind That Moves the World
Elemental Nature: Air + Ether (Space)
Qualities: Light, dry, cold, subtle, mobile, rough
Seat in the Body: Colon, bones, ears, skin, nervous system
Role:
Vāta is the principle of movement — it governs breath, nerve impulses, circulation, and the dance of thoughts. Without Vāta, nothing moves — it’s the life-force that whispers, “Go forth.”
When Balanced:
✨ Creativity blossoms, speech flows like poetry, enthusiasm abounds, and digestion is light and joyful.
When Imbalanced:
⚡ Restlessness, anxiety, insomnia, dry skin, constipation, and scattered thoughts — like a stormy wind that’s lost its rhythm.
To Balance Vāta:
Warmth, oil, regularity, and grounding. Think of comfort food, oil massage (Abhyanga), meditation, and gentle routines. The mantra is “Slow down and root.”
🔥 2. Pitta Dosha — The Fire That Transforms
Elemental Nature: Fire + Water
Qualities: Hot, sharp, light, oily, intense, penetrating
Seat in the Body: Small intestine, blood, eyes, liver, skin
Role:
Pitta is transformation. It digests food, processes thoughts, and fuels intelligence. It’s the inner sun — the alchemist of body and mind.
When Balanced:
🌞 Brilliant intellect, strong digestion, courage, clarity, and healthy ambition.
When Imbalanced:
🔥 Irritability, anger, heartburn, ulcers, inflammation, and perfectionism — like a fire that consumes rather than illuminates.
To Balance Pitta:
Coolness, moderation, and serenity. Think coconut water, moonlight walks, sweet fruits, and compassion. The mantra is “Cool down and soften.”
🌾 3. Kapha Dosha — The Earth That Nourishes
Elemental Nature: Water + Earth
Qualities: Heavy, slow, steady, soft, cool, oily
Seat in the Body: Lungs, stomach, lymph, tissues, joints
Role:
Kapha is structure and stability. It builds tissues, stores energy, and anchors the emotions. It is the calm mother of the doshas — nurturing, patient, and steady.
When Balanced:
🌼 Strength, endurance, loyalty, calmness, and radiant skin.
When Imbalanced:
🌧 Lethargy, weight gain, congestion, attachment, and depression — like stagnant water that has forgotten to flow.
To Balance Kapha:
Lightness, movement, and stimulation. Spices, early mornings, exercise, and fresh air work wonders. The mantra is “Move and awaken.”
🌺 Harmony of the Three
When Vāta, Pitta, and Kapha are balanced, the result is Swastha — a state of radiant well-being, where body, mind, and soul dance in rhythm with nature.
Each of us has a unique Prakṛti (constitution), a blend of these three doshas determined at birth — your personal Ayurvedic fingerprint. Understanding it is like reading your inner script written by the universe itself.
