Tri Doshas
The three humors are responsible for the functioning of the human
organism according to the Ayurveda. When the three doshas Vata, Pitta and Kapha
reside undisturbed in their proper organs and tissues, the organism is
supported by them and is in balance. When disturbed, they cause disease and
deterioration of the body.Of all of them,
Vata (Wind) is the key. Pitta and Kapha cannot move from their centers unless
the air within the body carries them.Through birth and prolonged
specific behaviour, one dosha may dominant, or a combination of two doshas is
dominant. Some people have all 3 doshas in relative balance. An ayurvedic
doctor may establish your dominant body type through feeling the pulse. To give
a very general idea, one might say that Vata dominated people are relatively
thin, Pitta dominated people are relatively athletic and Kappha dominated
people are relatively rounded
