Abstract

Every person has a distinct psychosomatic temperament a combination of physical, psychological, and behavioral traits. Knowledge about Prakriti is a prerequisite for assessment of Vikriti (pathology) hence it is important for diagnosis and therapeutics that’s why Prakriti assessment is included in Dashavidha Parikshaa and is considered in totality with an understanding of the other nine aspects. Methodology: This is conceptual type of study. All sorts of references has been collected and relevant material is compiled from various available Ayurvedic classics texts and available commentaries on it . Research articles are also searched from various websites.All compiled matter is reorganized and critically analyzed for the discussion and attempt has been made to draw some fruitful conclusions. Result: Understanding Prakriti is needed for evaluating Vikriti, which is one of the oldest conceptions of predictive, preventative, and personalized or genetic medicine as it predicts an individual’s response to environmental factors, medication, and susceptibility to diseases. It is advised in our compendia that before planning therapy, the physician must asses Manas Prakriti too which shows the strength of the mind and regulates the body because of its association with the soul. Here we made an effort to elaborate and connect the point from Samhitas to comprehend the role of Prakriti in the selection and establishment of every factor for which a person is going to interact from conception till death.
