What prakriti and tridosha is and how it affects the ageing process
Author(s): Dr. Wazir Singh
Abstract:
Prakriti is one of the timeless, immutable principles of Ayurveda. It's crucial in deciding on and setting up everything a person will engage with from the moment of conception to the moment of death, including their lifestyle, food, and death. Prakriti, or the body's dosha-based character, is determined at the moment of conception. It's fixed at birth and determines an individual's physical and mental traits throughout their whole lifetime. Tridosha classifications identify seven subtypes of this prakriti. Biological differences in form, function, behaviour, sensitivity to internal and external environmental stimuli, susceptibility to various illnesses, etc. are all manifested in the members of a given prakriti. The degenerative process of ageing is included in the category of natural disorders. Pathological problems are caused by an imbalance of Pitta or Agni in the human body. Even though ageing is a natural pathological condition, like many other pathologies, Pitta plays a significant part in its genesis. Pitta-dominant personalities are predisposed to early deterioration and other age changes, as described by Charak samhita. In this post, we try a fresh look at the connections between prakriti and becoming older.
