So with respect to Tridoshas, both Kapha and Pitta contribute and regulate Kleda. The amount of Kleda in the body is balanced by removal of excess Kleda in the form of Mutra and Sweda. If the excess Kleda which is not eliminated properly it can cause Srotorodha by vitiation of Jalamahabhuta which results in various abnormalities and diseases.
