Stress is a leading cause of multitudes of health problems, lifestyle diseases and crippled immunity. According to Ayurveda, stress is closely related to three vital energies, or doshas, in our body - Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. There's good stress, that is adrenaline release that helps function well enough and there's is negative stress. Negative stress arises from imbalance of three doshas in the body. The amount of negative stress arises from imbalance of these doshas. These are Vata, Pitta & Kapha. Moreover, every person has one of these dominant doshas in them that defines their personality.
Stress is thus managed by establishing the righ balance of doshas through appropriate treatments, lifestyle changes and meditation.
