    Glossary Kapha Dosha

    represents water and earth elements in Ayurveda

    Kapha Dosha is one of the three fundamental bio-energies or "doshas" in Ayurveda, the traditional system of medicine from India. It represents the elements of water and earth, and is associated with qualities such as heaviness, stability, and lubrication. In the context of health, an imbalance in Kapha Dosha can lead to issues like weight gain, congestion, and lethargy, while a balanced Kapha promotes strength, immunity, and calmness.
