A traditional framework

Ayurveda uses the concept of Prakriti to describe constitutional patterns. Vata, Pitta and Kapha are traditional categories, not modern medical diagnoses.

Patterns are not labels

A short questionnaire cannot capture your complete health, background or changing circumstances. Mixed answers are normal. Treat the result as a conversation starter, not an identity or a treatment instruction.

Keep choices individual

Restrictive diets and herbal prescriptions should not be based on an online result. Discuss nutrition, symptoms and health goals with an appropriately qualified professional.
