Ayurveda is a system of medicine and disease prevention originating in ancient India. The Ayurvedic approach places much emphasis on restoring and maintaining health by utilising a variety of measures tailored according to one's individual elemental constitution. Maintaining the harmonious balance of these elements is considered to be the key to good health and disease prevention.

Prakruti refers to our unique, individual elemental constitution, known as dosha, which is made up of a combination of Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether. Doshas are responsible for the substance and function of the body and mind on a biological, psychological and physio-pathological level. Every individual has a unique combination of these three doshas. The Sanskrit word dosha actually means fault or disease-causing factor, and Vikriti refers to the state of an aggravated dosha (disharmony) which is considered to be the root of disease.

Kapha is predominated by the elements Earth and Water. It is the cohesive force in matter; it contains, nourishes, supports and provides stability of physical and emotional nature. Pitta is predominated by the elements Fire and Water. It is the light of the external world, the senses and the mind, enabling vision, warmth, digestion and transformation on both levels of body and mind. Vata is predominated by the elements Air and Ether. It stimulates into motion and imparts energy, life, movement and expression.
