Two types of dosha are: Prakrita(inherent state) and vaikritadosha (acquired state). Prakrita dosha are observed at the time of conception and are responsible for the formation of prakriti. They are constant, and any change in them leads to death or trouble. They are responsible for the expression of individuality or phenotype of the person. Vaikritadosha are produced as the waste of food (ahara) and continuously circulate in the body of fetus. They are responsible for health, and any disturbance in their physiological limits, either excess or decline, leads to disease.Prakrita and vaikritadosha always stay in connection with one another, and collectively, they are called sharirikadosha. A person can only control the vaikritadosha through diet and lifestyle. [A.S. ShariraSthana 8/4]<ref name="multiple9" /> </div>
