The Tridoshas (three doshas) are considered as the primary and essential factors of the human body. It governs our entire physical structure and function. The word ‘tri’ refers to ‘three’ and the term ‘doshas’ refers to the basic physical energies. Dosha, derived from the Panchmahabhutas, is a combination of any two of the five bhutas with the predominance of one.  Dosha are like the elements that cannot be detected with our senses but their qualities can be.
