WHY BODY CONSTITUTION ANALYSIS AS PER AYURVEDA

NEED OF THE HOUR

Dr.Nilima Jain

When a man allows his mind to be amused by objects of enjoyment, an

attraction for them is created. Attraction develops into craving & from craving

follows the cause of anger. Anger produces delusion. Delusion confuses

memory & understanding of things; from this confusion of understanding follows

the disintegration of the power of discrimination of good & bad. With the disintegration gone, the man perishes.

I would like to start with a quote from our religious text - ‘BHAGWATA GITA’

In the fast paced life

today many of us have lost touch with

our real selves.

We neither recognize our

personal strengths nor the weakness.

Here is when BODY

CONSTITUTION and

AYURVEDA come into

play.

So now we will discuss ‘why body

constitution analysis?’ and

‘why Ayurveda?’.

Is the only healthcare system which integrates

‘Science’ with ‘Soul’.

Believes in Prevention of

diseases, Promotion of health and its Preservation.

Emphasizes on ‘Health and

healing’ along with ‘Disease and

treatment’ .

Is the ancient most health care

system best suited for modern

man.

WHY AYURVEDA?

Ayurveda believes in individualized

treatments for each and everybody.

It believes that everyone has his or her own individual

body constitution or ‘prakriti’ which

plays an important role in their

response to the treatments.

Thus the emphasis is laid on body constitution.

WHY BODY CONSTITUTION

ANALYSIS ?

Body Constitution(B.C) or ‘Prakriti’, as is

referred in Ayurveda, is the

genetic constitution that an individual is

born with.

As per Ayurveda B.C depends on the 3 doshas – vata, pitta and

kapha which are present in the

body.

B.C varies as per the permutation & combination of

these three doshas.

An individual reflects the

predominance of one or more doshas in his personna as a

whole.

The gist, as we can make out , is that

as mentioned in Ayurveda, is very

essential for positive health of mankind in
