Coming to topic, Our body is composed of three fundamental elements(Doshas / Dhatus)
Balance between 3 doshas are very important for good health. Vata is very active and drive passive Kapha and Pitta.
Vata can cause 80 disturbances in body when it is not balance.Vata governs air and space in our body. Ex: Pain, Hypertension, Heart pumping, Excretion, Paralysis are due to Vata

What happens if we blow more air(vata) on this candle, Fire(pitta) will off and water(kapha) solidifies. This is imbalance of Vata(Air) and distrubing Pitta(Fire) and Kapha(Water).
What happens if fire(pitta) is more, All Wax(kapha) will burnout quickly and Air(Vatta) becomes hot.
What happens if Wax becomes Solid(kapha), Wick cant pull wax water and makes flame(pitta), flame will become dull and air(vata) becomes cool.
