Having a fundamental understanding of one's Prakruthy (body type) can aid in determining the optimal lifestyle for promoting health and longevity. This includes appropriate dietary choices, suitable exercise routines, the use of specific herbs and medicines, and even selecting an appropriate profession. Ayurvedic massages and therapies may also be recommended based on one's Prakruthy.
Although every individual has the three doshas – Vata, Pitta & Kapha; each of us inherits them in differing proportions.

On account of these differences, Ayurveda categorizes human into 7 basic body types. They are:
Knowing one’s constitution holds the key to health, liberation and ultimately, self-realization.
To determine your own individual constitution, you will need to evaluate yourself as unbiased, accurately and honestly. Evaluate as how you are; avoid temptation to see yourself as you would like to be. Give rating based on a long-term evaluation (over a period of 1-5 years) than how you feel now. A disease symptom is different from a constitution sign and symptom. You may not be of just one Dosha; most fit predominantly into one and sometimes secondarily into another and rarely into the third.
