About Tridoshas by Eveda
Doshas are bio-energies that are present throughout the body and mind. They regulate every physiological and psychological process in the living being. The principles of Ayurveda is based on the three doshas also known as tridoshas: vata, pitta and kapha. The tridoshas arise from the five elements and each dosha has 2 predominant elements:
● Vata → Akasa (space) + Vayu (air)
● Pitta → Tejas (fire) + Jala (water)
● Kapha → Pritvi (earth) + Jala (water)
In a healthy body, the doshas are in balance or in a state of equilibrium. When unbalanced, they cause various signs and symptoms. When left ignored this leads to complex diseases and problems. Therefore, the doshas are the causes of the disease process. Each of these are described in detail:
About Vata:
Arising from Sanskrit, vata means ‘that which moves things’ and sometimes translated as ‘wind’. It is defined by Susruta as ‘va gati gandhanayoh’. Gati means motion, moving and going, Gandhana means intimation, information and hint.
About Kapha:
Kapha is defined as ‘kena jalena phalati iti kapha’. The synonym sleshma is derived from the root slish alingane - slish, which means to embrace, to cohere or to keep things together. Bala relates to overcoming opposition in a working situation and is a potential source of resistance to disease and decay. In an abnormal state, kapha may become a waste product (mala) that needs to be excreted from the body.
