Colours and the Doshas

Colours have the ability to impact our moods and emotions - I am sure most of us will testify to this. I love all the beautiful colours when travelling in India, especially the ocean of colourful Sari 

Colour is called varna in Sanskrit. 

When looking at the impact of colours from an Ayurvedic perspective, we can say that certain colours have the ability to bring balance to an individual ⚖️ Depending on our constitution and our state of imbalance, we can use colours to invoke desired states of being.
