The qualities of the symptoms provide an indication of the under- or over-functioning, or imbalance, of one or more doshas. An excessively (pathologically) pronounced quality can be balanced through measures that counteract this quality in their therapeutic effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-larger-font-size\">In this respect, Ayurveda, in contrast to homeopathy (Greek: treating like with like), is aligned with allopathic therapeutic systems. It is important to note in this context that the term &#8220;allopathy&#8221; is often mistakenly equated with modern conventional medicine. Here is an overview of the qualities of the doshas, as described in one of the fundamental texts of Ayurveda, the Charaka Samhita:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular has-larger-font-size\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Va<strong>ta<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Pitta<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Kapha<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table has-larger-font-size\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Non-oily or greasy, dry, bleak, withered (ruksha)<\/td><td>Slightly oily or greasy (sasneha)<\/td><td>Oily, greasy, smooth, sticky, adhesive<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table has-larger-font-size\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Cold, cool, frosty (sita)<\/td><td>Warm, hot, burning (usna)<\/td><td>Cold, cool, frosty (sita)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table has-larger-font-size\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Light, lightness (laghu)<\/td><td>Sharp, pointed, intense (tiksna)<\/td><td>Heavy, heavy in the stomach, significant, dense (guru)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table has-larger-font-size\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Fine (material), small, thin, narrow (sukshma)<\/td><td>Liquid, flowing, purgative (sara)<\/td><td>Sweet, pleasant, charming (madhura)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table has-larger-font-size\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Mobile, loose, trembling, variable, unstable, perishable (cala)<\/td><td>Sharp, cutting, foul-smelling (katu)<\/td><td>Solid, hard, compact, strong, calm, immobile, durable, steady, persistent (sthira)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table has-larger-font-size\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Clear, open (evident), bright, shiny, pure, unstained (visada)<\/td><td>Slippery, slimy (pichilla)<\/td><td>Rough, coarse (khara)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table has-larger-font-size\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td>Soft, delicate, fine, sensitive, flexible (mrdu)<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vata Pitta Kapha Non-oily or greasy, dry, bleak, withered (ruksha) Slightly oily or greasy (sasneha) Oily, greasy, smooth, sticky, adhesive Cold, cool, frosty (sita) Warm, hot, burning (usna) Cold, cool, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":744,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-797","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"3.0.2","language":"pt","enabled_languages":["en","pt","de"],"languages":{"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false},"pt":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false},"de":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false}}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ayurveda-portugal.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/797","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ayurveda-portugal.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ayurveda-portugal.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ayurveda-portugal.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ayurveda-portugal.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=797"}],"version-history":[{"count":19,"href":"https:\/\/ayurveda-portugal.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/797\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2830,"href":"https:\/\/ayurveda-portugal.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/797\/revisions\/2830"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ayurveda-portugal.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/744"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ayurveda-portugal.com\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=797"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
