Life and health in Ayurveda

Prakriti and Vikriti

In Ayurveda, humans are considered an individual unity of body, soul, and spirit. The universe and all life are composed of the five elements: water, earth, fire, air, and ether (space) – including humans. Ayurveda summarizes the five elements into the functional principles (doshas) of "vata," "pitta," and "kapha."

  • The Vata Functional principle is formed from space and air
  • The Pitta The functional principle is the combination of fire and water
  • The Kapha Functional principle results from water and earth

The Doshas are forces that control all biological and psychological processes of our body, mind and consciousness.

Every person is born with a basic constitution (“PrakritiPrakriti is the combination of doshas for the individual human being. Every person always has all three doshas within them. One or two doshas are usually dominant/predominant - one then speaks of a certain dosha type or - if two doshas predominate - a mixed type. Very rarely there are people with the tri- or sama-dosha constitution who have a very good balance of all three bio-energies in body and mind from birth. Prakriti is therefore our basis. It is as unique as a fingerprint.

There is also a “bioenergetic snapshot" in every person. This is Ayurvedic "Vikriti" – the current state – the ratio of bioenergies. This can be completely different from the basic constitution and also consists of all three doshas.

One of the most beautiful and important terms in Ayurveda therapy is “svastha", the healthy state. This word means "abiding in the self."

The aim of Ayurveda therapy is to recognize whether the person in the true self, in his innermost nature and – if not – to balance the bioenergetic imbalance. From an Ayurvedic perspective, this is disease prevention. However, the imbalance does not refer, as one might think, to the "best case" of 1/3 Vata, 1/3 Pitta, and 1/3 Kapha. Rather, our current constitution should always be as consistent as possible with our natural constitution! If the bioenergies are balanced (Prakriti and Vikriti differ as little as possible), they maintain a healthy state and even strengthen the immune system.
