Prakriti is our body constitution. Every person is born with a definite genetic constitution, determined by dominant doshas (three vital energies), genetic & environmental factors, Food and lifestyle of the mother and of course the five elements (Panchamahabhuta) that make up a fetus. There are three major types of Prakriti and these reflect predominance of that particular Dosha. Our body behaves according to the status of Dosha Prakriti. Each constitution offers a distinct physical & mental profile.

a) Physical functioning : Physical structure, complexion, hair colour, digestive capacity, appetite.
b) Mental & Emotional behavioral pattern.

Mind-Body Constitution Analysis is the bio-physiological or genetic constitution an individual is born with. This is the basic and innermost nature of an individual which reflects in the personality of man. This constitution of the mind and body is determined at the time of conception and remains constant and unchanged throughout life.

Every individual is unique and is different from the other. This may be regarding:

Physical structure
Temperament
Habit
Mannerism
Preferences

This is because unlike the machine, man (Manav) has a mind (manas). He has the power of thinking and deciding his acts and conduct. This power of decision depends on the personality or the body constitution of every individual. This analysis will help you come closer to your own self. Further you will be guided about taking care and maintaining balance among these bio-regulatory factors to assure good health.
