What is Prakriti? | Vata, Pitta, Kapha Explained Simply

๐ŸŒฟ Introduction
Ever wondered why some people stay lean while others gain weight quickly? Or why some are always calm, while others feel anxious? The answer lies in your Prakriti, or Ayurvedic body constitution.

At Vishwaprakriti Ayurveda Superspeciality Clinic and Panchakarma Center, we help you discover your Prakriti type to create customized Ayurvedic healing plans.
๐Ÿ” What is Prakriti in Ayurveda?
Prakriti is your unique Ayurvedic constitution, formed at the time of conception. It defines your physical structure, mental traits, and health tendencies.

Itโ€™s determined by:
– Genetic factors (Beeja)
– Maternal health and diet (Ahara)
– Time and season of conception (Kala)
– Geographic and environmental factors (Desha)

Your Prakriti remains constant for life, much like your DNA.
โš–๏ธ The 3 Doshas That Define Prakriti
๐Ÿ”ธ 1. Vata Prakriti โ€“ The Creative Thinker
– Physical Traits: Thin build, dry skin, cold hands and feet
– Mental Traits: Fast thinker, imaginative, nervous
– Common Issues: Anxiety, constipation, insomnia
– Ayurvedic Advice: Warm food, regular sleep, calming routine
๐Ÿ”ธ 2. Pitta Prakriti โ€“ The Driven Achiever
– Physical Traits: Medium build, warm body, oily skin
– Mental Traits: Intelligent, organized, intense
– Common Issues: Acidity, skin rashes, anger
– Ayurvedic Advice: Cooling diet, early meals, avoid spicy food
๐Ÿ”ธ 3. Kapha Prakriti โ€“ The Calm Supporter
– Physical Traits: Sturdy frame, oily skin, slow digestion
– Mental Traits: Loyal, steady, sometimes lazy
– Common Issues: Weight gain, sinus congestion, fatigue
– Ayurvedic Advice: Light food, daily movement, warm spices

๐Ÿ”„ Mixed and Dual Prakriti Types
Most people have a dual-dosha Prakriti, like:
– Vata-Pitta: Energetic and sharp, but prone to burnout
– Pitta-Kapha: Strong and intelligent, but prone to heat and weight issues
– Vata-Kapha: Creative yet slow-moving

Tridoshic types (balanced Vata-Pitta-Kapha) are rare and naturally well-balanced.
๐Ÿง  Why Knowing Your Prakriti Matters
– Helps you choose the right food and exercise
– Prevents diseases by spotting early signs of dosha imbalance
– Guides mental wellness, stress handling, and daily routine
– Forms the foundation of personalized Ayurvedic treatment
๐Ÿงช Prakriti vs Vikriti
Your Prakriti stays the same, but Vikriti (current dosha imbalance) changes with your habits, diet, emotions, and seasons.

At Vishwaprakriti Ayurveda, we assess both:
– Your original body constitution (Prakriti)
– Your current imbalanced state (Vikriti)

Then we use herbs, Panchakarma, and counseling to restore balance.
