Your body is apparently made up of these five basic elements. You get an ailment when the balance is out. For instance, if you have constipation, this is a sign that you are out of balance. Hence, treatment must be administered to help restore this balance or your “doshas”. The five elements, when joined in different combinations, make up the three "doshas" which comprise the nature of individuals and of all things. How did you get out of balance in the first place?
