The
central principle of Ayurvedic belief is the uniqueness of each
individual. The combination of the tridoshas
is unique to each person. This is his prakriti. Each individual
is born with a typical prakriti. This prakriti is determined by
the state of the parental doshas at the time of conception. But
our diet, environment, stress, trauma, injury etc. can cause an
imbalance in our doshas leading to a state known as vikriti Knowing
our constitution or prakriti helps us understand ourselves better.
It enables us to plan changes in out diet and our lifestyle for
achieving a richer life through holistic well being.The three
doshas are Vata, Pitha
and Kapha.
