Ayurveda's personality quiz for your body, 5000 years before buzzfeed got there.
means One of the three biological energies (vata, pitta, kapha) that Ayurvedic tradition says blend in unique proportions to shape your body type, temperament, and health tendencies.
from From Sanskrit dosha, meaning 'fault,' 'flaw,' or 'that which can go wrong' — because the doshas were named not for being good or bad in themselves, but for their tendency to fall out of balance and cause disorder when they do. The word's root is tied to ideas of corruption or deviation, a reminder that in Ayurvedic thought your constitution isn't a fixed identity to flaunt but a balance to maintain.
