Each of the tre Dosha - Vata, Pitta e Kapha - is made up of a combination of two of the following elements: air, fire, water, earth and ether (the space in which matter is contained and can exist.

In particular, Vata is composed of ether and air, Pitta is composed of fire and water and Kapha of water and earth. The combinations of these three Doshas are responsible for all the activities that take place within us.

I tre Dosha form our constitution (prakrti). Normally in each person there are two Doshas which are more or less at the same level and a third Dosha which is predominant. In rare cases all three Doshas are at the same level (in this case we speak of the Tri-Dosha constitution). When we are born, the three Doshas manifest themselves with a certain equilibrium and to feel good we should be able to maintain this original balance during life.
