    GlossaryKapha 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.

      A 23-year-old male experienced good hair growth and increased self-confidence after 10 months of using oral finasteride (1.25mg) and topical minoxidil (5% twice a day), despite no decrease in hair shedding. He also used 1mm microneedling monthly and reported minor side effects like forgetfulness.
