Dosha Combinations

Our own unique blend of all three Doshas makes up our individual constitution, usually with one or two dominant Doshas. When we’re referring to mind–body types (sometimes referred to as ‘body type’ or ‘my Dosha’ in the West) we usually cite our dominant Dosha at that moment (for example, I’m Vata or I’m Pitta). If two of your Doshas are more dominant, with just a little bit of the third Dosha, you might say ‘I’m Pitta-Kapha’, stating whichever is the slightly more dominant first, and if you have the rare mix of all three Doshas in equal measure, you are Tridoshic.
