Vayuh pittam kaphashchoktah shariro doshsangraha
manasah punarudvishto rajash tam ev ch !!
Three doshas vata pitta kapha dominate whole universe and follow
all activities in our body.
Pittam pangu kaphah pangu pangavo maldhatava!
Vayuna yatra niyantrey tatra gachanti meghwat !!
Among these tridoshas vata is the strongest as pitta and kapha can not go themselves anywhere.It is only vata that is mobile and can take pitta and
kapha anywhere in the body. Vata is a combination of two elements of the
universe, namely air and ether, Pitta an amalgam of fire and earth and Kapha
the combination of ether and water. According to this theory, the tridoshas
remain in a balanced state when the human body is in a healthy state. Disequilibrium causes disease.
Ayurvedic practitioners take into consideration the body constitution of a patient before prescribing any medicine, for the medicine, which suits a vatiya (vata) constitution will not help a patient having shleshmic (kapha) constitution.
