Abstract

Introduction: Prakriti (constitution) is formed at the time of union of sperm and ovum inside the womb. Predominance of Doshas (Bio-energies) at the time of fertilization determines the physical and mental characters. Ayurveda classifies human beings into three distinct types: Vata, Pitta and Kapha with multiple subtypes. According to Ayurveda physiological function of body depends upon the three Doshas and in modern science calories are needed to perform body function which is calculated by BMR. The study was designed to asses BMR with respect to Prakriti. Materials and Methods: For this present Observational and Analytical study, 60 female volunteers were selected between 18 to 30 yrs. Prakriti Pariksha was done by questionnaire and six groups were made. BMR was calculated. Results: It was observed that the P value is < 0.0001, which is extremely significant. Discussion: By statistical analysis it was concluded that BMR is significantly different in Dwandwaja Prakriti. From the analyzed data, it is found that Kapha Vata Prakriti persons have maximum BMR and Vata Pitta Prakriti persons have minimum BMR.
