Know Your Prakriti — Your Ayurvedic Body Type

The constitution in Ayurveda is mainly based on three Doshas (elements or bio-energies) — Vata, Pitta and Kapha — and three Gunas (states of mind) — Satva, Raja and Tama.

A person’s Prakriti is based on the dominance of one of the Doshas and Gunas, and a good balance of these energies is required to maintain good health.
