Abstract

This Article explores the characteristics of individuals with Vata Prakriti as described in classical Ayurvedic texts, including Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, and Ashtanga Hridaya. Vata Prakriti is characterized by physical, mental, and behavioural traits influenced by the dominance of the Vata Dosha. These include dry and lean body types, light and quick movements, sensitivity to cold, and a restless disposition. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of these traits and their implications for health and wellness.
