Why Tridosha balancing is important?

According to Ayurveda, doshas are the universal life forces, that manifest as three different energies. The three doshas are Vata (air) Pitta (Fire) and Kapha (water). They are biological forces found in the human mind and body, and although each individual has all these, there is usually predominance of just one or two. The unique combination each person posses is called prakriti which is the personal blueprint or nature that we are born with. As individuals go through life, the proportion of doshas can fluctuate, depending on circumstances like our environment , eating habits, the seasons, our age, and many other factors. Maintaining the balance of our doshas implies keeping a healthy balance in our health, energy level or mood.

Imbalance occurs when any of these energies increases in quantity or changes in terms of its quality. Usually this happens when individuals are not able to perceive things as they are , when we mistreat our bodies, or even when we do the right things at wrong time.
