Ever wondered why is your body so different than others around you, may it be your friends or your own blood-related family..?
Ever wondered why a certain food suits you and not your sister?
Or why a certain oil or a shampoo gave amazing results to your friend or a YouTuber but worsened your hair issues..?
Well…the answer lies in your PRAKRUTI.
It's just the way your body is..your body's true inherent nature. i.e.
" PRAKRUTIH SHARIR SWARUPAM "
Now you all must have read the basics about the 3 bodily doshas – Vata Pitta Kapha…
But wait… there's more to it.
Prakruti isn't just the Vata Pitta Kapha. It is the subdivision of a bigger group.
Prakruti can be categorized into 4 broad groups…each of which is again subdivided into different types.
PRAKRUTI is categorized into 4 types mainly:
DOSHAJ PRAKRUTI
BHAUTIK PRAKRUTI
GUNMAYI PRAKRUTI
JAATYADI SAPTVIDH PRAKRUTI
Let me explain this to you with the help of a flow chart.
So now you realize it's not just the three doshas but the permutation and combination of all the above components to make a living body as unique as you are...
A detailed study of each of the components coming soon in further articles.
