तत्रास्थनि स्थितो वायुः, पित्तं तु स्वेदरक्तयोः। श्लेष्मा शेषेषु, तेनैषामाश्रयाश्रयिणां मिथः॥२६॥
Relationship between Dosha and Dhatu- Vata resides in Asthi (bones) Pitta resides in Sweda (sweat) and Rakta (blood) Kapha resides in rest of the Dhatu and Mala. In case of Pitta and Kapha, when there is an increase of Pitta or Kapha, there is also respective increase of tissues and waste products associated with them.

For example, if Pitta increases, then sweat and blood vitiation also increases. The same rule applies to decrease as well. But in case of Vata, if Vata decreases, then Asthi increases. They are inverse proportionately related with each other.

Cause for increase or decrease of Dosha- The increase of Doshas, Dhatus and Mala is usually due to excess nutrition (Tarpana), which is followed later on with increase of Kapha. Whereas the decrease of Doshas, Dhatus and Malas is due to loss of nutrition which is followed, later with increase of Vayu (Vata). Hence, the diseases arising from increase of Dosha and Dhatu should be usually treated quick by adopting Langhana (therapy causing thinning of the body, reducing the quantity)

The diseases arising from the decrease of Dosha and Dhatu should be treated with Brimhana therapy (causing stoutening the body, increasing the quantity etc.) But in case of Vata, the order is reverse. If Vata is increased, then Brihmana therapy (nourishing therapy) should be adopted and if Vata decreases then Langhana therapy should be adopted.
