Changes

[[Kapha]] is vitiated due to excessive use of heavy to digest, sweet, cold and unctuous food, excessive sleep, sedentary life, etc. Vitiated [[kapha]] inhabits the skin, muscle tissues, and blood, causing swelling. A [[kapha]]-induced swelling grows slowly and subsides with difficulty. Affected part becomes pale, whitish, heavy, unctuous, smooth, stable, thick, with white hair, tolerant of touch and heat  This is the swelling caused due to [[kapha]].

Through the combination of the causes and symptoms of two [[dosha]] (''dwidoshaja''), three types of swelling occur. Similarly, a ''sannipatika shotha'' is caused by the combination of respective causes and symptoms of all three [[dosha]]. Thus swelling is of seven types. [7]
