What are Vata, Pitta, and Kapha? How do dosha types work?

Vata, Pitta, and Kapha are core tendencies in Ayurveda’s dosha framework. Vata is often linked to movement/dryness, Pitta to heat/metabolism, and Kapha to structure/stability. Dosha “type” is not a medical diagnosis and cannot be finalized by a single quiz. The most useful approach is flexible planning based on tolerance, sleep, stress, digestion, and routine—avoiding rigid “one type, one menu” claims.
