Prakriti type analysis

Vata, Pitta and Kapha are three important body constituents called Doshas in Ayurveda. Each of them has a very specific set of functional roles to play in the body.

Out of three Doshas, the dominant Dosha at the time of conception determines our Prakriti. This is our constitution which we are born with and it never varies. It is like our thumbprint. It is quite rare that Vata, Pitta and Kapha are equally pronounced in a human being, a state that is called as Balanced Tri-Dosha, which forms the foundation of health, fitness, and wellbeing par excellence.

Most people are dominant in any two of the Doshas. Various Dosha proportions determine one’s physiological and personality traits as well as general likes and dislikes. Here are the three Doshas, and the characteristics associated with each of them.

I) Vata Dosha (Ether + Wind)

Vata is the kinetic energy that controls bodily functions associated with motion, including blood circulation, breathing, blinking, and heartbeat. In balance condition Vata is responsible for creativity and vitality but when it goes out of balance it creates fear and anxiety.

II) Pitta Dosha (Fire + Water)

Pitta is the heat energy that controls metabolic activities of the body such as digestion, absorption, assimilation and regulates body temperature. In balance state Pitta gives contentment and intelligence. When it goes out of balance it creates excessive anger and inflammatory conditions.

III) Kapha Dosha (Earth + Water)

Kapha is the cold energy that controls growth in the body. It also supplies nourishment to all body parts, moisturizes the skin and maintains the immune system. In balance state it is responsible for love and forgiveness but when it is out of balance it can lead to insecurity and envy. 

Vikriti is present condition of Tri-dosha. When the Doshas are out of balance, they can create various diseases disturbing the health. Once we know Vikriti, we can use food, herbs, diet and lifestyle changes to align our condition (Vikriti) with our constitution (Prakriti). When they are aligned, we experience optimal health and peace in life.

Ayurveda focuses on providing specific advice and guidance on how to maintain physical and emotional health. We are suggesting the set of personalized recommendations designed to support you in your journey towards optimal health. 

Following link has the Prakriti questionnaire which you can submit to us for getting the detailed report.
