Two types of [[Dosha|dosha]] are: Prakrita (inherent state) and vaikrita [[dosha]] (acquired state). Prakrita [[dosha]] are observed at the time of conception and are responsible for the formation of [[Prakriti|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. Vaikrita [[dosha]] are produced as the waste of [[Ahara|food (ahara)]] and continuously circulate in the [[Sharira|body]] of fetus. They are responsible for health, and any disturbance in their physiological limits, either excess or decline, leads to [[Vyadhi|disease]]. Prakrita and vaikrita [[dosha]] always stay in connection with one another, and collectively, they are called sharirika [[dosha]]. A person can only control the vaikrita [[dosha]] through diet and lifestyle. [A.S.
