Dosha
most important factors of the ayurvedic teachings
The Doshas are three principles that are responsible for the control of all processes and functions in the body. The three doshas - vata, pitta and kapha - are the most important factors in Ayurvedic teachings. This is because they are responsible for all positive and negative changes in the body, depending on whether they are in a normal or pathological state. They are not substances, but highly dynamic forces that control all physiological and pathological processes in the body.
