Our body is composed of five elements: Space, Air, Fire, Water and Earth. The balance of these five elements is important for the efficient functioning of our body. The combination of these five energies forms three types of body constituents or doshas:-

Vatta Dosha: It is composed of space and air.

Pitta Dosha: It is composed of fire and water.

Kapha Dosha: It is composed of water and Earth.
