Indian English
In Ayurvedic medicine, one of three bodily energies believed to govern a person's temperament and physical constitution.
Ayurveda names three doshas, commonly called vata, pitta, and kapha, and holds that the balance between them shapes both physical health and personality. The word comes from Sanskrit and entered English mainly through translations of Ayurvedic texts and, more recently, through wellness and yoga culture in the West. Practitioners assess which dosha dominates in a person before recommending diet, exercise, or herbal treatment.
