Dosha Key

Know Your Dosha

Vata Dosha ~ Air + Space

This airy dosha is responsible for enthusiasm, speech, and sensory acuity. In the body, it is responsible for movement—from daily routine actions to movements within, such as circulatory, respiratory, excretory, and digestive systems.

Pitta Dosha ~ Fire + Water

This fiery dosha is responsible for intelligence, cheerfulness, and courage. In the body, it is responsible for transformations within—digestion, metabolism, and biotransformation, as well as taste, hunger, heat, vision and luster of skin.

Kapha Dosha ~ Earth + Water

This watery dosha is responsible for patience, forbearance, and fortitude. In the body, it is responsible for structural development and lubrication—growth of bodily tissues (dhatus), nourishment, strength of the joints and structural solidarity.
