Though The Mythical Meaning Of Prakriti Is Nature.
However Ayurveda Deals With Life Escalation So At This Point The Prakriti Has A Different Significance Associated With The Character Of Individual’s Distinctiveness.
Why Someone Likes To Eat Sweets And Other Don’t Why Somebody Becomes So Angered And Other One Remains Diplomatic One Skin Seems Pampered On Other Hand Next Skin Gives The Impression Of Being Rough And Dry. A Person Is Very Co-operative And Other One Is Wholesome Egotistic.
You Refuse The Companionship Offer From A Person But Second Can Fascinate You. Some Eyes Always Remain Yellow And Some Remain Rosy Or Ashen.
I Mean To Say They Are All Sort Of Examples Contained By Human Beings That We Observe Every Day In Life. These Each And Every One Examples Are Occurred Due To Individual Prakriti, Or The Constitutional Genetic Humor. Prakriti Has Very Significant Roll In Ayurveda.
Selections Of Some Specific Formulations Require The Prakriti Examination Before Being Prescribed. The Prakriti Demonstrates Its Significances Before Being Established The Diagnosis Of Physical And Psychological Diseases Or At That Occasion When We Find Out The Constitutional Nature And Individuality. The Prakriti Has Determined Through Very Reasoning Approaches In Ayurvedic Texts.
The Vata Type Prakriti Has 70; Pitta And The Kafa Type Prakritis Have 62 Types Distinguished Indications. Those Who Have More Than 50 Distinguished Symptoms Of Any Single Dosha That Is His PRADHAN (Principle Or Leading)-PRAKITI, Rest 25 - 50 Distinguished Symptoms Of Other Dosha, That Is His SAHAYAK (Helper Or Accommodating) – PRAKRITI.
If An Individual Has Less Than 25 Symptoms Of Whichever Dosha Than It Has No Significances We Should Not Pay Interest To This. Here Are Some Important Stipulations To Check Out The Prakriti.
The Vata Type Prakriti: --
Thin And Poorly Developed Body And Chest, Dry And Uninteresting Appearance Of Eyes And Skin, Constricted Forehead, Parched And Blackish As Well As Rough Lips, Scanty Hairs, Weak, Tall And Bony Skeleton, Low Body Weight, Distended Veins And Tendons Under The Skin, Indolent And Puzzled, Jealous Nature, Early Onset Of Anger And Unhappiness As Well As Early Uneasiness, No Affection With Any One Mostly Self-centered, Tendency To Start Faster, Passes Hard And Dry Stool, Rough And Brittle Nails, Improper Appetite, Scanty Thrust And Sweating, Lack Of Staying Power And Poor Memory, Sensitive To Vatic Disorders As Pain, Poor Immune-system, And Gunas Like Cold, Dryness, And Dryness, Disloyal Behaviors, Their Faithfulness May Be Switched According To Choice And Demand, The Body Remain Almost Odorless, The Vatik Person Passes The Dry Stool, The Sharp And Unpleasant Voice. Poor Sleep And Dreams Commonly Fling In The Sky.
The Subject Always Be Sensitive To Cold Therefore He Or She Likes The Warmth Weather. Some People Postulate That The Vata Is A Wind Or Air, Which Is Not True (Though The Bookish Meaning Of Vata As Wind Or Air Is There In Various Literature And Other Synonyms Like Sameer, Marut, Pawan Are Also Available.)
The Air Or Wind Is An Existing Natural Matter And Easily You Can Feel That By Touch, But The Ayurvedic Vata Is Totally Different Thing, Infect Vata Is Not A Commodity Or A Material Within The Body, The Vata Is That Functional Group Within Us Which Keeps Us Healthy, Agile, Helps In Breathing, Digestion, Exertion, Working, And Many More.
Vata Is Rather A System Within Us With A Wide Perspective. We Never Accept Vata As A Wind, Air Or Any Commodity. (You Will Learn More In Our Forthcoming Series Learning Of Ayurveda With Dr.P.M.Sharma, Editor.)
The Symptoms Of Pitta Type Prakriti: --
Good Looking, Thin, Medium Tall, With Standard Muscular Skeleton, Well-developed Body And Square Shaped Well-developed Chest, Poorer (in Comparison Of Vata Type Prakriti) Appearance Of Veins And Tendons Under The Skin, Weak, Intolerance, Excellent Managing Skill, Frequently Angry And Frequently Happy Nature, Unstable State Of Mind And Often Gets Excitement And Feels Restlessness, Like Wintry And Cool Places, A Paittik Person Has A Good Appetite, And Passes Soft Stool.
His Or Her Nail Remains Pinkish And Soft: --
A Paittik Skin Looks Rosy And Radiant, Their Faithfulness Remains Unchangeable And Strong. They Can Conquer Anybody’s Faith With Their Strong Loyalty. They Have Disturbed Sleep In Comparison Of Vatik But They Dream Related To War, Fire And A Lighten In The Sky. Various People Believe That Pitta Is Fire. Let Us Make It Very Clear That It Is Not The Fact. Pitta Is An Liquid Formed Virtual Reality, Accountable For Many Actions Like Visual’ Add, Digestion, And Complexion Of Skin, Blood Formation, And Cardiac- Functioning, The Look, Regulation Of Body Temperature, Trust And Hunger, Pleasure State Of Mind And Many Other.
The Symptoms Of Kafa Type Prakriti: --

Their Have Smooth Hairs;
Seemed Greasy And Curly. They Give Dull Response To Any Duty. They Have Well-developed Square Nails With Shine. Hardly Ever They Can Change Their Loyalty. These Are Some Important Symptoms To Make Out A Kafa Type Prakriti. This Is A Straightforward Portrayal Of Prakriti Assessment So That Layman Can Formulate An Idea With Reference To His Or Other’s Prakriti. Most Of Us Have Dual Or Triple Prakriti, But The Prominence Of Any Single Dosha Will Be Available.
The Ratio Of More Doshas Can Be Change Person To Person. Hence Do Not Make Haste To Diagnose The Prakriti.
