Everyone Everyone has all three three doshas, do shas, but each person has a uniq unique ue combination combi nation of these qualities. qualitie s. As you grow and develop over the years, many factors influence influence how close you stay to to your original origi nal doshas or o r how far you move move away from them. When you eat the foods that push your constitution out of balance, you may experience aching joints, digestive problems, mental instability, respiratory trouble, allergie allergies, s, skin rashes, and a general g eneral feeling of being bei ng out of sorts. Left untreated, these conditions can lead to various diseases. The The body bo dy and the the mind are a re tremendously pressured press ured with our our modern mode rn lifestyle. Generally, as a result of this lifestyle and environmental pollution, there there is i s too much heat heat (pitta) (pi tta) in the body bod y and an accumulation accumulation of toxins that that Ayurv Ayurveda eda calls calls aam. One way you you can begin be gin to nourish nourish yourself, yourself, is by eating well and avoidi a voiding ng specific foods and drinks, or certain food textures and temperatures that are not condu co nducive cive to your your own good health and energy.

This is a very powerful tonic for vitality, energy, and enthusiasm. Also you you need to to avoid avoid sour food and and ferment fermented ed food.
