About Us

vata
Are you quick thinking, thin, energetic and enjoy always on the go? Then VATA may be your dominant dosa. VATAs love new experiences and they are quick to take on new initiatives. They typically have dry skin and hair with cold hands and feet.

PITTA
People with a PITTA dominating dosa are known for their leadership qualities, self confidence, organization and ability to clearly communicate thoughts and ideas. Physically they have a medium frame, strong build and a lustrous complexion.

kapha
If you were born with a broad frame, always found that you gain weight easily, have envious thick lustrous brown hair and enjoy deep sleep you are probably predominately KAPHA.

In our bodies VATA governs our movement and neural-electrical impulses and it is the dosa that is responsible for your heartbeat, movement of food in digestion and the entire nervous system.
Some of the more common conditions suffered from a VATA imbalance include high blood pressure, constipation, dry skin, chapped lips, gas, hiccups, arthritis, insomnia and anxiety.
Pitta
PITTA is represented in our ability to digest food. It is the enzymes, amino acids and HCL that play a major role in our metabolism as well as neurotransmitters and neuropeptides involved in our ability to process thoughts.
When PITTA falls out of balance the heating qualities begin to consume the body and mind. A person may suffer from ulcers, diverticulitis, skin rashes, burning sensations, hyperacidity, diarrhea, acne, food allergies or intolerances and auto immune disorders. They can also experience anger, envy and rage emotionally.
Kapha
KAPHA is our biological strength, it is the glue that holds our body together. In our body, KAPHA is found in our bones, muscles, fat, organs and fluids. It is our structure and stability.
Conditions that can be experienced when KAPHA is out of balance include hay fever, high cholesterol, mucous and congestion in the chest, throat, nose or sinuses, aching joints, lethargy, weight gain, diabetes, candida and small intestine bacteria overgrowth.
