Each individual was born with a unique combination of the three doshas which has certain gifts and certain challenges. The doshas influence every aspect of life - from the tenderest feeling to patterns of thought, from dietary preferences to favorite seasons, from relationships with others to body shape. Your constitution at birth is just right for you and will not change over time.

From the point of conception onwards, life is influenced from all sides. How you have used the gifts and met the challenges of your constitution in your life's journey determines what imbalances you have accumulated. Through pulse diagnosis and observation of how you look, move, and talk, the Ayur-Vedic physician can determine your constitution and any imbalances within the doshas themselves.
