It’s all about
the elements
According to Ayurveda, the five elements govern our constitution, called prakruti (nature).
The five elements (panchamahabhutas), ether, air, fire, water, and earth, combine into pairs to form the doshas (types), Vata (ether + air), Pitta (fire + water), and Kapha (water + earth). Sanskit can be a little overwhelming for beginners, so I’ve represented the doshas (types) into their prominent elements below and in my assessments.

When our lifestyle is in balance with our nature, our health thrives.
When our daily choices aggravate our elemental makeup, symptoms (physical and mental/emotional) are presented to communicate that we've lost our way.
Thus, our life's work is to live in harmony with our elemental constitution by embracing the nature we were born with.
