Ayurveda inNepal's Himalayas
"Ayurveda" means the Science of Life. This 5,000-year-old Indian medical system, preserved and practiced in Nepal's sacred tradition, treats not symptoms but the root cause — restoring harmony between body, mind, and spirit.
The Three Doshas — Your Unique Constitution
In Ayurveda, every person is a unique blend of three biological energies called doshas. Understanding your prakriti (nature) is the foundation of healing.
Vata
Air + EtherVata governs movement, circulation, and the nervous system. When balanced, Vata types are creative, lively, and inspired. When imbalanced, they experience anxiety, restlessness, and scattered energy.
Pitta
Fire + WaterPitta governs transformation, digestion, and metabolism. Balanced Pitta types are sharp, courageous, and confident leaders. When imbalanced, they experience irritability, inflammation, and burnout.
Kapha
Earth + WaterKapha governs structure, lubrication, and stability. Balanced Kapha types are loving, steady, and deeply nourishing. When imbalanced, they experience heaviness, lethargy, and difficulty with change.
