What is Prakriti? Ayurvedic Body Type Guide
Prakriti is your baseline Ayurvedic constitution: the Vata, Pitta, and Kapha pattern you return to when life is steady.
Prakriti is your baseline, not your mood today
In Ayurveda, Prakriti describes the constitutional pattern you were born with. It shapes digestion, sleep, energy, stress response, build, temperature preference, and emotional tempo. It is different from Vikriti, which is your current imbalance.
Why it matters before advice
The same symptom can ask for different next steps in different constitutions. Poor sleep in a Vata pattern usually needs warmth and rhythm. Poor sleep in a Pitta pattern may need cooling and less intensity. Kapha patterns often need activation earlier in the day.
How Swastik uses it
Swastik starts with a short Prakriti quiz, then turns the result into practical guidance: food first, routine second, herbs last. The quiz is not a diagnosis. It is a wellness map for better daily decisions.
