During the micro-transformation of Rasa dhatu inside body and formation of upadhatus, some fluid secretion is generated as a waste byproduct and it is called as ‘kapha’ (कफः). However, this is waste or unwanted kapha which resembles Kapha dosha. Thus, Kapha dosha is closely associated with rasa dhatu. The clinical features of increase in rasa levels of body are similar to those of kapha dosha increase.
