Kapha dosha originates from water. Kapha provides nutrition to the body and regulates the other two doshas, pitta and vayu.
Kapha makes the organs of the body moist and lubricates joints, increases strength, enthusiasm, heals wounds, strengthens the immunity, provides energy, promotions patience, knowledge and wisdom, regulates mental balance and also protects the tisues from wear and tear.
Kapha is the primary reason for lethargy and inertia. If kapha decreases, pitta and vayu increases and damage the dhatus, jionts, heart and body parts.[1]
