[Properties and pathogenic effects of kapha dosha] In all, like in the case of vata and pitta disorders, all the kaphajavariety of diseases mentioned above would be diagnosed and treated as disorders of kapha even when exhibiting partial manifestations of the dosha. For example, unctuousness, coldness, whiteness, heaviness, sweetness, steadiness, sliminess and viscosity are the specific characters of kapha. Kapha, having such characteristic properties, produces the following actions in the organs it afflicts: 1. Shvaitya – Whiteness 2. Shaitya – Coldness 3. Kandu – Itching 4. Sthairya – Stability 5. Gaurava – Heaviness 6. Sneha – Unctuousness 7. Supti – Numbness 8. Kleda – Moistening/stickiness 9. Upadeha – Coating over body parts 10. Bandha – Binding 11. Madhurya – Sweetness 12. Chirakaritva – Chronic nature of disease All the above are the actions of kapha dosha and the same may be diagnosed as kaphaja variety of diseases.
