The fundamental functions of the living matter have been visualised and explained by preceptors of Ayurveda as being performed by three somatic humors inherently present in the domains of biology and pathology. Accordingly the theory of tridosha has been postulated explaining the process of health and disease. These three humors are known as vata, pitta, and kapha.They maintain health through the control of all physiological processes of body and causes disease due to the disturbance in their equilibrated state. These can be better understood by analysing the dosha dominance in different stages of women’s life.
