People who believe in CAM therapy have a belief that everything in the entire universe, either living or dead, is interconnected. If your mind, spirit, and body are in coherence with the universe, then you will have good health. And on the occasion when something brings an imbalance in this balance, that is the time one human being gets sick.
Among the causes or issues that can disrupt this balance are genetic or birth disorders, climate, injuries, seasonal changes, emotions, and your age. People who believe in Ayurveda also believe that each one of us is made of five elements that are found in the universe, i.e., space, air, fire, water, and earth.
All of these elements combine up to form three of the life forces or energies named as ‘doshas.’ They have control over how your body works. They are:
- Vata dosha, that is space and air
- Pitta dosha, i.e., fire and water
- Kapha dosha, water, and earth.
Each one of us has a unique blend of these doshas. But one of them is mostly stronger than the other. Every one of them controls a different body function. It is also believed that your chances of falling ill and other health issues you develop are interconnected to the balance of your doshas.
