					What is Dosha?</p>
<p>According to Ayurveda, we are made up of substances that sustain and maintain our body and these substances are the three doshas vata, pitta, and kapha. Although, the three doshas not only sustain and maintain us, but it also gives us our unique identity.</p>
<p>All three doshas are present in the body. However, one or any combination may be dominant than the other.<br />
The dominant dosha determines who you are, your likes and dislikes. And also, how your body and mind are likely to react from the external and internal environment.</p>
<p>Dosha is like our DNA. The default setting of our being.</p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner">
					<p>The Tri-Dosha Concept Vata, Pitta, and Kapha</p>
<p>Each dosha has unique qualities represented by their core elements.</p>
<p>Vata</p>
<p>Vata has the element of air and ether. It has the qualities of air such as dry, light, cold, rough, subtle, mobile, and clear.</p>
<p>Biologically, it controls movement in the body. From breathing, blinking, blood flow, movement of cells, movement of waste products and many more. Vata also controls any process that involves movement inside the body.</p>
<p>A person with predominant Vata qualities appears to be thin, slender, they like to be light and they have an irregular appetite. Their minds are quick and imaginative.<br />
Although they have a short-term memory, their memory is photographic.</p>
<p>Vata people are very creative given their imaginative mind. However they can be insecure, most of the time lacks willpower. they are easy to become panicky and anxious.<br />
Ironically though their general stress level is low. This is because they are quick to let go of anything that makes them feel heavy.

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner">
					<p>Pitta</p>
<p>Pitta carries the element of fire and water. With fire as the most dominating element. It has the qualities; oily, sharp, hot, light, mobile, and liquid.</p>
<p>It is mainly responsible for digestion and all metabolic processes. It also controls body temperature.<br />
Most importantly it has greater influence in developing intellect and cognition, which is why people with pitta dominant dosha generally do well in school.</p>
<p>A  Pitta dominant person is medium build, with sharp looking eyes, shiny hair and has good skin. Pitta people have a good appetite and have a fast metabolism.</p>
<p>Because they have so much fire in them, they can become intolerant and easy to get angry mostly because they like things to be organised.<br />
Despite this pitta people are very focused which makes them efficient and very productive.

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner">
					<p>Kapha</p>
<p>Kapha is formed of the elements water and earth. Its attributes include being oily, cold, heavy, dull, sticky, can be soft or firm.</p>
<p>This dosha primarily gives support and substance to the body. Its biological functions include giving strength, stability, provides moisture and lubricates the joints.<br />
It is also responsible for retention of memory.</p>
<p>But what really stands out about kapha is that it has the ability of calmness. People dominated by this dosha are patient, loving, forgiving and they have that motherly nature in them.<br />
These are the people that like to give and are selfless.</p>
<p>A kapha person generally appears to be round, large build. Quite chunky with thick dark hair. They have stable gait. Their skin is smooth and cool but can become oily.</p>
<p>Like pitta, kapha people are organized and they have strong willpower. And because they are calm and relaxed they tend to like long-term planning which can be a disadvantage at times because kapha people are the laziest among the 3 doshas.

					<p>How is the Tri-Dosha concept used it Ayurveda?</p>
<p>The Tri-dosha concept is a very important tool in Ayurveda. This is a unique method to see the natural qualities of a person. And a tool to assess signs and symptoms unique to the particular dosha.<br />
Doshas vata, pitta, and kapha are subject to physiological changes. They can increase, decrease or affect one another. This is when imbalances occur and can cause illness to the body.</p>
<p>With the knowledge of the doshas, the Ayurvedic practitioner will determine the imbalanced dosha. This will be done by examining the signs and symptoms and which dosha it represents.</p>
<p>The practitioner then creates a plan of treatment. The treatment will involve primarily on balancing digestion and decreasing the increased dosha and vice versa. Also manipulating the other doshas to achieve a general state of balance.</p>
