KNOW YOUR BODY BY KNOWING YOUR
PRAKRUTI...
In Hindi movies, we have heard the same dialogue over the years like “you will
meet two types of people in this world”. But our Ayurveda says, there are different
types of people in the world but out of them three types of people are very
common, and you will certainly find sharp resemblance with at least one of the
type. Yeah that’s right, that will be your body type according to Ayurveda. It will be
very interesting, exciting and fun also to know our body type and special
characteristics of it.
In Ayurveda, we call it PRAKRUTI. That is; body type. This PRAKRUTI can
describe a whole lot of things about people’s characteristics. A Prakruti means
Ayurvedic constitution of our body and mind. You can know your body better and
inside out if you are well aware of your body type that is Prakruti

As I mentioned in my previous article (July 17 Issue); about five elements,
three doshas, and their existence in this world. So we understand that all
Five elements can be found in food, soil, plants animals, humans but in
infinite different proportions; as we all know billions of species are there in
world that exist. That’s why everything that exist in this world in unique in
their own way. But lets just focus on us.
