Your result
General Ayurvedic information based on your answers. Your Prakriti is best understood in a personal consultation.
What is Prakriti?
Three doshas, one individual balance.
In Ayurveda, Prakriti describes a person's natural constitution: the individual balance of the three doshas, Vata, Pitta and Kapha, that is traditionally said to be present from birth. Classical texts use these concepts to understand why people differ in build, appetite, sleep and temperament, and to guide general diet and lifestyle advice.

After the self-assessment
A questionnaire is only a starting point.
Prakriti is understood properly in a personal consultation, where Dr. Varun Dogra considers your history, present concerns and lifestyle, which a short questionnaire cannot do. If you have a health concern, please consult a qualified professional rather than relying on this result.
