The elements of air (Vata), fire (Pitta) and water (Kapha) are the there ingredients which are called Doshas or biological forces which cause decay of our body and health. In sanskrit terms the word dosha carries the meaning fo something been faulty, spoiled, dark, afflicted and decayed.

The interactions of these three Doshas in the body lead to faster, slower or no decay of the body our living force is placed in. Ayurveda is a science of life, which teaches how to bring these three biological forces in perfect balance and have a long, healthy, happy and meaningful life.
