== Two types ==
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" />
=== Vata dominantconstitution (prakriti) ===
The characteristics of vata dominantconstitution individuals based on properties of vata dosha. [Cha.Sa. Vimana Sthana 8/99]The person having vata dosha in predominance have the following characteristics:

=== Lokapurusha samanya ===
Vayu is responsible for all motions in the cosmos. The vayumahabhuta is represented by the vatadosha in human body. Nourishing (visarga), depleting (adana) and distributing (vikshepa) in the universe are carried by the moon, sun and wind. Similarly, human body haskapha, pitta, and vata performing the same functions, respectively. [Su.Sa. Sutra Sthana 29/6]<ref name="multiple3" />
== Factors responsible for abnormal states of vata ==
Certain factors cause excess or decline of vata in the human body. These factors are natural or unavoidable and artificial or avoidable.
'''Natural factors:''' These factors are the essential component of biological rhythm occurring in the external as well as internal environment of the body. This natural increase is physiological. These factors are as follows:[Su.Sa. Sutra Sthana 21/20]<ref name="multiple3" />, [A.Hr. Sutra Sthana1/8]<ref name="multiple4" />, [A.Hr. Sutra Sthana12/24-25]<ref name="multiple4" />[A.Hr. NidanaSthana1/14-15]<ref name="multiple4" />
<ul>
<li>'''Season(ritu):''' Vata undergoes accumulation in summer(grishma), gets vitiated in rainy season(varsha) and subsides to normal during autumn(sharada).</li>
<li>'''Various stages of digestion of food: '''Vata gets vitiated at the end of meal digestion(jirneanne)</li>
<li>'''Biological rhythm of day and night:''' Vata gets vitiated at the end of day(apraha) and night(pratyush).</li>
<li>'''Habitat(desha):''' Vata usually gets vitiated in the person of arid area(jangaladesha).</li>
