In Ayurveda, the term Prakruti is used significantly in the way of constitution i.e for physical as well as psychological which are described as Deha Prakruti and Manas Prakruti respectively for constituents of body and mind. Acharya Charak has described 7 types of Deha Prakruti and 3 types of Manas Prakruti. The prakruti of a person is determined at the time of conception and stays the same throughout the lifetime. It is influenced by certain external factors viz. Season, age, food intake etc. The difference in individuals occurs due to variance in the proportion of sharira and manasa doshas in each individual. All the normal processes carried out in human body are governed by these 2 types of temperaments. The assessment of both these types of prakruti are indicated for maintaining a healthy living status as well as recommending a treatment modality to the patients. In contemporary sciences, the term personality co-relates with the term prakruti of Ayurveda. Personality is the combination of appearance, qualities, behaviour our that distinguishes an individual from others of the species. The ancient knowledge can be inculcated with the modern scientific advanced tools so that it can be used for promoting health and treatment of diseases in the public domain.
