Prakriti

Prakriti is an Ayurvedic concept describing an individual's innate physical and mental constitution. It is believed to result from the balance of three fundamental energies or doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—that influence biology, temperament, and health. Each person has a unique Prakriti, which shapes their body's traits, digestion, mental tendencies, and resilience. Understanding one's Prakriti helps in personalized lifestyle, diet, and wellness choices to promote harmony and prevent imbalance or disease. In essence, it provides a framework for recognizing individual physiological and psychological tendencies rooted in nature.
