An Overview of the Three Doshas (TriDosha)
In Vedic knowledge, Tri is translated as “three”, and dosha is translated as a “fault”. The exact meaning of the term TriDosha or three Doshameans the three elements fault that lies inside a human. The three Doshas are considered replaceable elements that must be replaced with a new element over time, but if this does not happen and one Dosha accumulates inside a person, it starts to rot and this element is known as Dosha. .
You may know that whenever something accumulates in our bodies, it creates a lot of disturbance for blood circulation, muscle movements, and neurological links. This disturbance impacts humans both mentally and physically. Below are the details about each of the Dosha
