AYURVEDA SHORTS - WHAT IS DOSHA?

Dosha actually translates as 'that which can go wrong'. So, there we have a little clue that, when looking out our own health and symptoms, we need to go to 'dosha'. But, what is dosha anyway? In this short we find out that, like the 'Element' the dosha is simply a bundle of qualities. But unlike an element (which has a bundle of similar qualities held together) a dosha has a combination of opposite qualities that work together to create ACTION within the body. Vata = To Move. Pitta = To Combust and Kapha = To Hug/Hold.
