�Koshta� is defined as the nature of alimentary tract, bowel movements or nature of eliminations of faeces.
There are three types of koshtas based on predominance of doshas such as :

Krura (Hard)
Mrudu (Soft)
Madhya (Moderate)

1) Krura

Predominance or increase of vata produces hard faeces with difficulty of elimination or even non-elimination.
Predominance or increase of pitta causes watery or semisolid faeces, moving out more than once or twice, in a day.

2) Mrudu

Predominance or increase of kapha causes soft, solid faeces moving out smoothly.

3) Madhya

When all the doshas are normal, then the koshta will be madhya which is the ideal condition.
