Basically, Ayurveda’s principle revolves around the dosha type, which is a combination of five elements or Pancha Maha-Bhoota that is Ether(space), Air, Fire, water, and Earth. According to Ayurveda, everyone is made up of these five elements, and they come together to create three different energy types known as Doshas. Mainly three doshas are known that is Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.

3. Understanding the Dosha type.

In Ayurveda, three types of dosha are Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. As everyone is made from one of these doshas, none of them have a single dosha dominant or say one of these doshas is dominant over the other two doshas. 

Understand three doshas

• Vata: It is comprises of space and air. It is link to the movement, breathing, and movement of muscles, tissues, cell membranes. When it’s unbalanced, fear and anxiety are super common for Vata’s person. People with Vata characteristics have a lean body frame, lack of sleep, easily agitated, poor appetite, and digestion issues. They are intolerant to cold but can tolerate heat nicely, unsteady making decisions, and pickling by nature.
• Pitta: This dosha is a combination of fire and water. It is link to the metabolic system, and it is vital for digestion, nutrition, metabolism, and temperature control. When it is unbalanced negative emotions such as anger, jealousy are come out. Pitta types are very cheerful, very social, quick digestion, or eat very fast and digest. They can not tolerate hunger and intolerant to heat, which is a significant and only drawback to these people.
• Kapha: This dosha is comprises of water and Earth. It is link to body structure, and it is important for healthy muscles and bones, joints, lubricants, skin, moisturizer, and immunity. When it’s unbalanced, fear, and anxiety, greed are common emotions. People with Kapha doshas are very calm and don’t get angry very fast, but it remains for a long time if they are angry. These people are slowly spaced, but they take their own time, and their judgment is so decisive that once judged, they never will change. They digest slowly, sleeps deeply, and have a large body frame.
