I have just completed a new Ayurveda e-book on “Tridosha – The Basic Principle of Ayurveda “.
The allopathic description of health starts with the descriptions of cell, tissue, etc. But Ayurvedic description of health and disease starts and revolves around Tridosha.
Hence, if you are an Ayurvedic admirer, or if you have interest in Ayurveda in general,the basic knowledge about Tridosha is very essential to understand any Ayurvedic principle. I have tried to simplify the whole explanation on Tridosha so that it is understandable for those people who have got no idea about Ayurveda, but still are interested in it.

i think it is extremely difficult to understand the tridosha system. I find my body gives out all the doshas and nothing is more pronounced to give a categorical classification. Which means it is difficult to understand my body type- what will suit me and what wont/
The same is the case with me!
Self analysis of Tridosha always leads to confusion.
Dosha body type symptoms mix with the dosha dominant symptoms, during disease condition.
Dosha body type symptoms mix with times when Dosha are naturally high. For example, kapha is naturally high in the body during morning hours, and in childhood.
Dosha body type symptoms mix with impact of place. moist place – kahpa is high. sunny – Pitta etc.
here are a few tps –
1. watch your emotions –
do you take decisions very fast?or take them with intellgence, or you think you take a very long time?
2. watch your digestion. – take a long time for digestion – kapha, appropriate digestion – Pitta, sometimes constipation and sometimes lose stools – Vata.
3. Watch your overall built.
So these are a few hints about judging body types.
Even after all these, if you still think that you are having Tridosha body type, then you are very lucky.! Because it is the ideal body type.
Great work,can we understand tridoshas as physical entities or as philosophical nonentity as per modern science ?
Many have tried to correlate physical entities to Tridosha. Such as – Bile – to Pitta, Neuro-hormones to Vata and Normal phlegm to Kapha etc.
But Tridosha concept is so vastly spread all across the body that many a times, such a correlation becomes futile. Hence, I would opine that it is best to understand Ayurveda and Tridosha in its own – as-it-is way.
I do not think Tridosha concept is a philosophical entity. I would say that it is practical entity. If you have know about functions and places of of Vata, Pitta and Kapha, you can practically feel them in action in your body.
Hope your question is answered.
hi sir ,how can we analyse the doshas? mainly in mental disorders.
Hi Sir,
I have made an exclusive website to discuss such deep Ayurveda topics. Will take up this aspect in future. – learningayurveda.com
My Ayurvedic doctor told me its not easy to understand the doshas in your body…different people have different variations according to the place they live. For ex. a person living in the Middle East vs a person living in colder climates will experience different symptoms though they might be having same doshas. It’s good to consult an expert rather than trying to do it yourself.
True.
