What is a dosha?
In Ayurveda, the doshas are three functional principles formed by combinations of the five elements. They describe patterns of movement, transformation and stability in the body.
Everyone has Vata, Pitta and Kapha in different proportions. The individual combination is called prakriti, or constitution, and helps an Ayurvedic practitioner consider nutrition, routine and procedures personally.
