Ayurveda

Tri-Constitution Chart

The  Tri-Constitution Chart   found in this section illustrates the relationship of the doshas to external forces (time, seasons, stages) and internal processes (metabolism, catabolism, anabolism), to tastes and to body systems (colon, stomach).  It identifies the elemental forces (air, ether, fire, water, etc.) that influence each dosha.  As well, it lists the herbs and flower remedies recommended for each dosha. 

Exercise 8 urges you to memorize the chart.  If you do, you will have the basic framework of Ayurveda as a constant reference point for your healing work.  Knowing this chart well will give you tremendous confidence!
