Determining Body Nature or Prakriti in Ayurveda

What's Your Body Nature or Prakriti?

In Ayurveda, body nature, or prakriti, refers to the physical and mental characteristics

that guide the understanding of which foods and practices are favorable for an individual. No two people are exactly the same in terms of their body nature, so what

works for one person might not work for another. This is why it's important to know your

own unique body type. If you're interested, you can take the fun and detailed quiz

included in this post to find out your main dosha. Doshas are the basic elements

of the body that determine how it functions physically and mentally. There are three

doshas. Most people find they have one main dosha, either vata, pitta, or kapha but

some may have a mix of two.
