In
Ayurveda each person is understood to have an individual constitution,
largely determined by the three doshas, three subtle forces that
are active everywhere in nature. The doshas are called Vata, Pitta,
and Kapha. The orderly and harmonious interplay of the three doshas
is of crucial importance for our physical and mental health. The
first priority of Maharishi Ayurveda is to maintain balance between
these three functional principles, and to restore balance wherever
it has been lost. All therapies and all dietary and behavioural
guidelines are related entirely to the individually determined composition
of the three doshas in each person. Few people are pure Vata, Pitta
or Kapha types. Most people are governed by a combination of all
three doshas in varying proportions. At the start of the therapy,
one of our doctors will ascertain your individual constitution.

assessment of your individual constitution? If so, then do our dosha
