According to Ayurveda every person is born with a set of characteristics called as their Prakruti.
Prakruti consists of Tri Dosha (3 Doshas) namely, Vata, Pitta and Kapha, according to the Tridosha Theory.
Vata represents the workings of Air and Ether energy, Pitta represents the functions of Fire energy and Kapha represents the operations of Water and Earth energy. The mechanism of these 5 energies regulate, direct, control and manage all the functions in one’s body.
