Abstract

Prakriti denotes natural psychosomatic constitution of a person and it does not harm a person in the same way as the poison of poisonous snake. In general terms it is a normal state of health. In single and dual types of dosha types of Prakriti dominance of particular dosha, predisposes the person to the certain disorders belonging to that
class of Dosha. For instance, the person of Vata Prakriti is likely to suffer more from vata disorders and that of Pitta Prakriti from Pitta disorders and so on. No Prakriti is good or bad, as each prakriti has its own merits and demerits. Only Sama Prakriti is acceptable. We can handle people of above personality by knowing characteristics of these personalities and Prakruti. In Ayurveda Prakriti plays an important role in treatment of any patient at the time of selection of yoga (kalpa).

Keywords: Prakruti; Personality.
