Namaste Sunita:
'Dosha' is a Vedic term for something close to 'body type' and is part of the Vedic Science of Health and Medicine, or Ayurveda (one of the Upavedas). Here's a little excerpt of an article by Wikipedia:
| Quote: | Doshas are known as Tridosha, which is a part of the Maulik Siddhant (Basic Principles) of Ayurveda. Doshas are three mainly, but when combined, the total makes seven. These are known as Dwidoshaj if combined by two, and, when all three are combined, as Tridoshaj or Sannipataj. The 3 main doshas (sometimes translated into English as humours) are: Vata (combination of the space and air elements), Pitta (analogous to the fire element), and Kapha (combination of water and earth elements). However there is no equivalent word to translate "Dosha" in the English language, because the concept of Humour is different to the concept of Ayurvedic Tridosha.
All bodily processes are believed to be governed by a balance of the 3 doshas. Whichever dosha appears to dominate a person's behavior and physique is called his constitution type. Each constitution type has particular strengths and susceptibilities. Tridoshas are considered similar to Aetiological factors responsible to derange normal health condition. |

Shishya,
So I was able to get my dosha. Do you have resources regarding diet for a particular dosha?
Namaste,

Namaste Shavaun,
I updated the first post in this thread with some links to dietary recommendations for the three primary types. Please do explore the site, as it is full of useful information.
