Are you trying to lose weight but nothing seems to work? The problem may not be your food—but your body type. In Ayurveda, each person has a unique dosha: Vata, Pitta, or Kapha. Understanding your dosha helps you eat according to your body’s natural rhythm, resulting in sustainable weight loss, better digestion, and more energy.
At Skin Heal Solutions, we customize Ayurvedic diet plans and Panchakarma treatments based on your dosha for healthy, natural fat loss.
What Are Doshas in Ayurveda?
Doshas are the biological energies found throughout the human body and mind. Each dosha governs specific functions:
Vata – Air + Space (Movement, energy, nervous system)
Pitta – Fire + Water (Digestion, metabolism, temperature)
Kapha – Earth + Water (Stability, structure, fat storage)
Obesity is most often linked to a Kapha imbalance, but all three doshas can play a role.
