In Ayurveda, a traditional system of medicine from India, the kapha dosha is one of three constitutional types that are believed to influence a person's physical and mental characteristics. People with a predominantly kapha constitution are thought to be calm, stable, and grounded, with a tendency towards being heavier and more physically solid. They are also believed to have a strong immune system and to be slower to get sick. Other common kapha traits include being affectionate, loyal, and easy-going, as well as having a good memory and a strong sense of commitment. On the negative side, kapha types may also be prone to sluggishness, laziness, and a tendency to hold onto things, both physically and emotionally.
