Prakriti Analysis

According to Ayurveda , everybody is unique . They will all have one (or) other special characters.

• Physical or mental peculiarities. So such features which are acquired by birth is called as Prakriti.
• Prakriti is defined as the group of characters inherited by an individual from the sperm of father and the ovum(egg) of the mother.
• The Prakriti is determined by the predominance of Dosha’s during sexual intercourse of parents.

E.g During sex – If father has high vata and mother has high pitta then the child will have vata and pitta characters

Very rarely, one can come across a person who has all the three doshas who is considered as healthy and will remain healthy forever and will seldom suffer from diseases.

The body type or prakriti will never change birth to death ,it stays the same – your basic characters never change. But when the age advances ,you may know how to control certain bad behaviours. e.g pitta person tend to get angry always but when maturity comes, he may get angry but he will control it. But that doesn’t mean that he has overcome his anger.

What are the things or characters which influence the formation of body type?

• The characters of sperm and ovum (if the quality of sperm is good , the person will have good quality body type). Because of this, Ayurveda says the couple should never plan for a child when they are sick.
• Time – During the Pregnancy – The Environment also influences the child. The mother should always be in a good environment( without alcohol, cigars ,drugs etc.)
• Always be with good people. The mother should spend time with good people.
• Food and drinks of the mother . Bad food causes bad characters in the child.
• The condition of uterus ( womb)
• Season – In India , the woman is not allowed to get pregnant in certain seasons which means the extreme weather conditions may affect the pregnancy.
• The people around the pregnant woman also influence the baby which means that if people around her is hurting or saying bad about the pregnant lady, then it affects the child.
