Kapha

Earth & Water in the Body

Kapha is the dosha of structure and lubrication — governed by earth and water, it rules immunity, joints, and cellular growth. When balanced, Kaphas are loving, calm, and incredibly resilient. When imbalanced, they experience lethargy, weight gain, and emotional attachment.
