Kapha Dosha (kapham)

March 23rd, 2007 | admin

Kapha Dosha is a dosha among the three doshas of tridosha, according to Ayurveda.

This force is composed mainly of Jal (water). It also has some element of Bhoomi (earth). Thus kapha dosha is considered to be heaviest of all doshas. When hearing heavy, donÂ’t assume the dosha is material. It is a dynamic force, which controls the Jal and Bhoomi within our body.

Kapha is responsible for:

1. Body mass
2. Fertility and virility
3. Strength
4. Stability of mind and body
5. Memory

Kapha dominates the regions of chest, and up.

The reasons for imbalances to Kapha are:

· Eating too much of sweet, cold food
· Daytime sleeping and
· Consuming certain dairy products and fatty food

Normalizing your eating and sleeping habits can help check imbalances to Kapha dosha.
