The 5 elements of life- Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Space conspire together to build 3 fundamental energies of living beings- Kapha, Pitta and Vata. These Tridoshas govern all physiological and psychological functions within the human body. Ayurveda explains that every living being is a unique combination of these energies, and any imbalance among them can lead to the onset of various diseases—even serious or life-threatening ones.
