✦ The Three Doshas
Ayurveda recognises three fundamental energies — or doshas — that govern every aspect of our physiology and psychology. Understanding yours is the first step to balance.
Air & Space
Vata governs movement — breath, circulation, nerve impulses, and the flow of thought. In balance it brings creativity and vitality. When aggravated, anxiety and restlessness arise.
Ground with warm oils, regular meals, and stillness.
Fire & Water
Pitta governs transformation — digestion, metabolism, intelligence, and perception. In balance it brings focus and courage. When aggravated, inflammation and irritability emerge.
Cool with gentle foods, rose water, and moon walks.
Earth & Water
Kapha governs structure — lubrication, immunity, and emotional steadiness. In balance it brings love and endurance. When aggravated, lethargy and attachment increase.
Invigorate with spices, movement, and dry massage.
✦ Ritual of the Season
Spring is Kapha season — the earth grows moist and heavy as winter's accumulated energies begin to liquefy. This is the perfect moment for gentle cleansing, rekindling digestive fire, and welcoming renewal into body and mind.
Shop the RitualBegin with a self-massage using warm Vata Calm Oil. Work from the scalp downward in long, loving strokes to awaken circulation and calm the nervous system.
Apply two drops of sesame oil in each nostril to clear the sinus channels, sharpen the mind, and protect against spring allergens.
Steep Triphala Cleanse powder in hot water for 5 minutes. Drink slowly — this gently kindles digestive fire and begins the season's cleansing work.
Sit in stillness for 10 minutes of Nadi Shodhana breath. Alternate nostril breathing harmonises left and right energies to welcome the spring.
✦ The Botanicals
Every ingredient in every OKH formula is chosen for its specific rasa (taste), virya (potency), and vipaka (post-digestive effect) — never for trend.
Withania somnifera
Adaptogen · Stress Relief · Vitality
The 'strength of a horse'. Ashwagandha is revered for building ojas — the body's vital essence — while calming an overactive nervous system.
Curcuma longa
Anti-inflammatory · Clarity · Glow
Sacred to Ayurveda for millennia. Turmeric purifies the blood, supports liver function, and illuminates the skin with its golden potency.
Asparagus racemosus
Hormonal Balance · Nourishing · Cooling
The 'she who possesses a hundred husbands'. Shatavari nourishes the female reproductive system and cools Pitta with its sweet, demulcent nature.
Bacopa monnieri
Memory · Focus · Calm Awareness
Named for Brahman — cosmic consciousness. Brahmi enhances memory and learning, calms mental chatter, and promotes deep, restful sleep.
Emblica officinalis
Longevity · Vitamin C · Rejuvenation
The richest plant source of Vitamin C. Amalaki is the cornerstone of Rasayana — the science of rejuvenation — and the first ingredient of Triphala.
Piper longum blend
Digestion · Circulation · Warmth
The three pungents — ginger, black pepper, long pepper. Trikatu kindles agni (digestive fire), burns ama (toxins), and restores metabolic vitality.
✦ Testimonials
After three weeks of the Vata Calm Oil, I felt a shift I hadn't experienced in years — a quiet, easeful presence in my body that I thought was lost. This is not wellness theatre. This is the real thing.

As an Ayurvedic practitioner I'm cautious about commercial products. OKH Elements is an exception. The sourcing is impeccable, the ratios are correct, and the results speak for themselves. I recommend Triphala Cleanse to all my clients.
