Abstract

Prakriti represents the proportion of „Doshas‟, which represents the ideal state of balance, and it serves as the goal for us to strive toward. It will manifest in us throughout our life time through our physical characteristics, natural urges, likes and dislikes, and psychological preference. In the society every individual is unique. Not only each individual has different size and shape but its physiological and even psychological characters are different. Some like chilly, spicy food, others are sweet eaters. Some enjoy warm summer, some prefer winter. This shows each and every individual has its own specific, liking and disliking. These individualistic features are the showing of Prakriti. Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well being and not merely the absence of disease.

Keywords: Prakriti, Doshas, health.
