The 3 main doshas (sometimes translated into English as humours) are: Vata (combination of the space and air elements), Pitta (analogous to the fire element), and Kapha (combination of water and earth elements). However there is no equivalent word to translate "Dosha" in the English language, because the concept of Humour is different to the concept of 'Ayurvedic Tridosha'
Awww well thank you for trying to explain it anyway lol! Is that a bit like the humoural theory on the body held in the renaissance? It could be some kind of elements supposedly present in your body that if dominant will affect your behaviour, your thoughts and your health.
