What is Prakriti/Prakruti according to Ayurveda

 


According to Ayurveda, each individual has two body types.


Prakriti: Basic Body Type, the one you are born with, it's like your DNA imprint. It doesn't change and will always be within us.

Vikriti: Today's Body Type which is a result of all influences around us including foods, weather, work, family friends etc.

The basic aim in Ayurveda is to find out your prakriti - basic body type and vikriti - today's body type. 

Then we use the five approaches in Ayurveda - 

  1. Foods
  2. Herbs
  3. Massages
  4. Yoga
  5. Life style

To bring back balance into life or to go back to our original basic body type.
