Ayurveda is a traditional Indian system of medicine that views the human body as a microcosm of the universe.
The five elements of nature (earth, water, fire, air, and space) are believed to combine to form the doshas, which are the three basic bodily humors: vata, pitta, and kapha.
The doshas are responsible for regulating all aspects of human health, and an imbalance of doshas can lead to disease.
