Originating in India about 5000 years ago, it is believed to be the oldest surviving complete medical system in the world. In Ayurveda, Doshas are personal constitutions made up of a combination of the five elements of air, ether, fire, earth and water.The aim of Ayurveda is to understand and live in harmony with one's personal constitution that will help prevent general disease and promote holistic wellbeing.

Urban Veda Soothing Sandalwood Body Lotion Urban Veda Sandalwood balances elemental damage and is packed with botanicals to calm, clarify and soothe skin and senses. Kapha - Urban Veda Purifying Range Kapha is ruled by the elements earth and water. Generally quite loving and forgiving by nature, Kapha types tend to store their energy. Kapha dosha people are the least likely to fall out of balance, but when they do this can manifest as being sluggish, slow and overweight, and mentally they can develop feelings of insecurity or envy. This over-accumulation of energy is evident in slow decision-making tendencies. Pitta - Urban Veda Soothing Range Pitta is ruled by the element fire. Generally disciplined and logical, this ‘heat’ frequently manifests as ambition, Pitta types are born leaders, managing and controlling their energy strategically. When in a state of balance, Pitta types have positive attributes such as charisma, focus, intelligence, a quick wit and contentment, but when out of balance, excess Pitta can accumulate as irritability, a ‘hot’ temper and unprovoked bouts of aggression. Vata - Urban Veda Radiance Range Vata is defined in Ayurvedic literature by the elements air and ether. Vata types tend to spend, or dissipate their energy rather than store it. Therefore, Vata skin can be dry, delicate, cool, rough and flaky, and can be vulnerable to exposure and dry wind. It is important to use replenishing moisturisers, and to boost hydration by splashing your face several times when you cleanse. Tri-Dosha - Urban Veda Reviving Range Tri-doshic types benefit from neutral products suitable for all three doshas, similarly all dosha types can use tri-doshic products. Urban Veda’s tridoshic skincare range, Rose + botanics, is beneficial for all skin types and is particularly supportive of mature skin in need of replenishment and repair. Utilising ingredients that induce relaxation, Rose is renowned for combating the signs of ageing, as well as possessing balancing and regulating properties.
