The doshas are the three vital forces—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—born from the five elements.
Vata, made of air and ether, represents the principle of movement. It governs the nervous system, respiration, and all motion within the body.
Pitta, made of fire and water, represents the principle of transformation. It governs energy and temperature balance and is responsible for nutrient digestion.
Kapha, made of water and earth, represents the structural principle. It is a life-sustaining force, giving solidity to the body, building tissues, and maintaining fluid balance.
And you—what’s your dosha?
