A balance between these three humors is vital for good health; imbalance of any one or more results in disease. In present times,a perfect balance of these three humors is seldom seen.Due to hereditary factors, generallly one humor dominates the other two right from birht, giving the person a prakruti or a constitution. For example , a person who has an excess of vaata humor in his body is said to be possessing a Vaata-constitution or suffering from Vaata-dosha(dosha=fault or imbalance),Similarly ,people having an excess of Pitta humor or Kapha humor in their bodies are said to be possessing pitta constitution or kapha constitution respectively. Such dosha develops specific traits and susceptibilites in the owner , renderning him prone to certain diseases.
It may also happen that two (or some times all thre) humors are deranged(i.e in excess). Sich people are said to be having mix constituions.
