Humans.. So like we all know there are three doshas in our body i.e Vata, Pitta, Kapha. But each of us have combination of these three doshas in different ratios, which is unique and unequivocally our own. Our ancient texts states that this Prakruti or body type are established at the time of conception, confirmed by birth and remain stable throughout our life. Prakruti display every aspect of our body mind; 1. Our physique, 2. Physiology, 3. Lifestyle 4. Habits, 5. Mental or emotional status 6. Tendencies as well as 7. Vulnerabilities towards disease that people may suffer due to imbalance of doshas. And hence it is important to note that it can act as a reference point to know our vulnerabilities and possible future disease we may suffer beforehand so we can act to prevent it and maintain ourselves at the level of optimal health status. Predominantly there are three types of prakruti that is: 1) VATA PRAKRUTI 2) PITTA PRAKRUTI 3) KAPHA PRAKRUTI But there are other types formed by different permutation and combination, for example VATA PRADHAN PITTA ANUBANDHI PRAKRUTI….(Vata dominating and Pitta Secondary) Means Vata is highly dominant, Pitta is less dominant, Kapha is lowest likewise. KAPHA PRADHAN VATA ANUBANDHI PRAKRUTI….(Kapha Dominating, Vata Secondary) Means Kapha is highest in quantity, Vata is lower to Kapha and Pitta is lowest in quantity. So we can see how many combinations can be there. 2
