Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Prakriti is a unique concept of individuality that has been explained in our ayurvedic literature. It expresses particular trait of an individual that is defined by specific and permanent composition of Dosha at conception. Prakriti is directly responsible for constitutional, temperamental, psychological and spiritual state of each individual. Disease occurs when there is a change in this original form at the psychological or physiological level. Prakriti remains same throughout life .Acharya has mentioned different characteristics of different deha prakriti. In Ayurveda clinical methods such as pulse examination and prakriti assessment plays an important role. Various methods have been mentioned in our literature for prakriti assessment of an individual. Deha prakrti is the foremost factor which determines the pattern of susceptibility of an individual to different diseases, their prognosis, course and complications.
