Kapha (Earth) Balancing

Ayurvedic herbs to support and balance Kapha dosh

The Kapha dosha is one of the three primary energies in Ayurveda, embodying the elements of earth and water. Kapha is responsible for structure, stability, and lubrication in the body, giving strength, endurance, and immunity. It is associated with qualities like heaviness, calmness, smoothness, and coolness. Kapha governs growth, tissue formation, and moisture balance, helping to maintain body fluids and joints. When in balance, it has emotional stability, groundedness, and compassion. However, an imbalanced Kapha can lead to sluggishness, weight , congestion, and excessive attachment or lethargy. To balance Kapha, activities that increase warmth, movement, and lightness, along with stimulating foods, are beneficial.
