sanskrit

[Prakriti pariksha (Assessment of basic constitution of patient)] Explanation regarding factors prakriti etc. are explained henceforth– the constitution (prakriti) associated with fetus (garbha) is determined by constitution of sperm and ovum, the time (of conception) and status of health of uterus, diet and lifestyle of mother (during pregnancy) and interaction of mahabhuta. Body humors (dosha), one or more than one which predominates in these factors gets attached to the fetus which is called physical or doshika constitution (dosha prakriti) of human beings which is emerged from the initial stage of fetus. Hence some persons are constitutionally having predominance of kapha(shleshma) some pittala, some vatala some having, combined dosha and some with balanced dhatu.
