According to Ayurveda, Sharira comprises Dosha, Dhatu, Mala, Indriya and Atma.1 There are a number of important factors responsible for the progression of the vyadhi. Out of which, one of them is Prakriti. Every individual has their own unique characteristics or personality called as the Prakriti which continues from birth to death. Prakriti is a person’s unique blend of physical and psychological traits, influenced by factors such as genetics and environment. An individual’s Prakriti is determined by their level of the Tridoshas i.e. Vata, Pitta, Kapha. Furthermore, no two individuals in the same environment are equally resistant to the same disease. This resistivity which is also responsible for the abridged severity of the disease called as Vyadhikshamatva (Immunity).2 There are seven types of Deha Prakriti, among them some have good immunity while others have poor immunity which means that persons have Vyadhikshamatva as per to their Deha Prakriti. The relation between the Deha Prakriti and Vyadhikshamatva is a unique concept and not found in any other medical sciences; hence, the present article has been designed to find out the actual relation between them. And in this manner, a thorough study of the concept of Deha Prakriti and Vyadhikshamatva will aid in a better understanding of pathogenesis in many Vyadhis mentioned in Ayurveda.
