Abstract

The roots of Shareera (body) existence are Doshas, Dhatus, and Malas. The theory of Tridosha is unique to Ayurveda. These Doshas decide the phenotypic and genotypic character of an individual. They are essential in maintaining the homeostasis of the body. Doshas, when vitiated, can lead to diseases. Vata, Pitta, and Kapha are the Tridoshas with specific Karma (functions) in the body due to their particular Gunas (properties). Among the Tridoshas, Kapha has properties like Shlakshna, Sthira, Guru, Sheeta, etc., which suggest that it is heavy, slimy, thick, and cold. There are five types of Kapha – Avalambaka, Kledaka, Shleshaka, Bodhaka, and Tarpaka. Each of them has its specific location and functions. An attempt is made to understand and correlate Kapha and its subtypes with modern medical science.
