Vata, Pitta, and Kapha are the three fundamental principles that make up the human body according to Ayurveda, an ancient Indian system of medicine. These principles are known as the doshas.
In Tamil, the meanings of these three doshas are as follows:
Vata: வாதம் (vātam)
Pitta: பிட்டம் (piṭṭam)
Kapha: கபம் (kapam)
Each person is said to have a unique combination of these doshas, which is believed to determine their physical and mental characteristics and tendencies. According to Ayurveda, maintaining a balance of the doshas is important for maintaining good health.
