Ayurveda basics
Understanding the tri-doshas
In Ayurveda, the three doshas — Vata, Pitta and Kapha — are the fundamental energies that govern the body on the physical and emotional levels. Each is a blend of the five elements: space, air, fire, water and earth. In balance, they mean a healthy body and mind.
Vata, Pitta and Kapha — the three energies Ayurveda uses to read your body, skin and hair.
The three doshas
Pitta
Warm, sharp and intense — the energy of transformation.
- Skin: sensitive, flushes easily, prone to breakouts
- Hair: fine, early thinning, oily scalp
- Care: cooling botanicals, rose, calming rituals
Kapha
Cool, steady and grounded — the energy of structure.
- Skin: smooth and thick, but congests easily
- Hair: thick, wavy, tends to oiliness
- Care: light textures, clarifying herbs, regular exfoliation
How we use it
Balance, not battle.
Ayurveda does not fight your skin; it looks for what has drifted out of balance and gently brings it back. Our rituals are built the same way — a cleanse, a treatment and a seal, chosen for the dosha that needs settling.
