Single doshas and Biotypes

Ayurveda is based on the principle that we are all different. Ayurveda has categorized people into seven body types. Three predominate in Vata, Pitta, Kapha; the duo doshas Vata-Pitta, Vata-Kapha, Pitta-Kapha, and the tridoshic body, which has equal parts of the three doshas. ​​I will not talk about the tridoshic constitution because I have not met any tridoshic person.
