Significance of Vata and Kapha
Vata and Kapha are two of the three primary doshas in Ayurveda, with Vata governing movement and air, while Kapha represents structure and stability. Imbalances in these doshas can contribute to a variety of health issues, including respiratory conditions, digestive problems, and skin diseases. Ayurveda recognizes the importance of maintaining the balance between Vata and Kapha for overall health, as disruptions can lead to ailments such as Tamaka Shwasa, PCOS, and other physiological disorders.
