3 Doshas: Vata, Pitta and Kapha

Each dosha has its own unique qualities and appearance. According to Ayurveda, doshas govern the function of all the organs in the body. When a person’s doshas are out of balance, this leads to ailments such as skin problems or digestive issues. In order to restore balance, it is necessary to identify the predominant dosha in a person and take steps to correct imbalances in other doshas.
