According to Ayurveda, the human body is governed by three intelligences - Vata, Pitta and Kapha. These intelligences are commonly known as Doshas or humours. As they are the governing force behind every function in our body they manifest through their qualities.

Kapha dominant skin has qualities of the earth and water elements.

These two elements bring dampness, moistness, heaviness and sluggishness to skin structure. These elements are responsible for problems such as cellulite, white heads, sagginess and pustules. To rebalance we need to use herbs which create the following: warmth, light and sharpness.
