Kapha Dosha

As per ayurvedic texts, human body has three main body energies which are known as doshas in the ayurvedic language. These are Vata, Pitta and Kapha doshas. There are five elements in human body including earth, water, fire, sky and air. Out of these, kapha dosha is mainly composed of water and earth. Since earth and water both are cool by nature therefore the Kapha dosha which is also composed of these elements is also cool and stable in nature. At the same time, both these elements are considered to be heaviest of all elements found in this world.

Due to same reason, people who have kapha dosha more than other doshas in the body are cool and stable as compared to others. It is all due to prominence of water and earth elements in their bodies. Although normal balance amid three doshas of the body is required for normal and good health of the body however slight aggravation or provocation of any of these is not serious health matter. It is just an indicative of the fact that the concerned person may exhibit certain traits or qualities more than others.

As far as kapha dosha is concerned, people who have abundance of this body energy or dosha have a tendency to move, learn and speak in a slow motion. But they do possess the power to retain the things learnt by them for long time period and that too in a better manner.  Also they understand things better. They have high memory and concentrative powers. As far as physical traits of people with abundance of kapha dosha, they have a thick body type with thick hairs. Such people have oily skin and they exhibit a tendency to sleep for long time. At the same time, they are sound sleepers.
