Hello friends.

Today we ask the following question, what are doshas a Sanskrit word which means mind body principles and in Sanskrit the three doshas are avata, pita and kafa. Although they regulate thousands of separate functions in the mind body system, they have three basic functions.

Vata Doshia controls movement.

What does this mean? This means that every movement is governed by this principle.

Movement. Simply that. Speech, movement, movement of bowels movement of blood flow movement of the immune

system fine tuning of any process, biofeedback, these all fall under the principle of Vata or movement.

Pita means metabolism or transformation.

So in your body right now, everything is being transformed.

Food is being transformed into what we call metabolic products.

Metabolic products in turn are transformed into biological activities.

Matter is transformed into energy, energy in turn is needed for metabolism.

This all falls under the principle of metabolism or transformation, the Pita Dosa.

The third Dosa,aufa, control structure.

What does this mean?

Well, this simply means that the body has a physical structure to it at least in appearance it is a form even though we know

that the form is a manifestation of the phenomenon that we call metabolism, which in turn is a

manifestation of the principle that we call movement. So your body has movement. So your body has movement, it has transformation, and then it has structure.

And these three principles in Ayveda are called the Vata Dosa, the Pita Dosa and the Kafa Dosa. Dear listeners, before we continue, I'd like to tell you about our sponsor, Nome.
