Ayurveda isn't about one-size-fits-all solutions. It's about understanding you. The food you eat, how much you sleep, your moods, even how your body reacts to weather changes — they all stem from your Prakriti, or Ayurvedic constitution.

Your Prakriti is the unique combination of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha energies you were born with. This balance (or imbalance) determines not just your body type, but your mental and emotional tendencies, digestion, skin type, immunity and more.

Why Should You Care About Your Prakriti?

Because once you know your dominant dosha(s), you can:

• Eat in sync with your digestion.
• Avoid lifestyle triggers that throw you off balance.
• Choose herbal remedies that work for your body type.

That’s how healing becomes long-term and natural — not symptom-based or superficial.

1. Nutrition That Matches Your Nature

You might have noticed that some diets just don't work for you, even if they seem healthy on paper. That's because Ayurveda doesn’t believe in universal superfoods — it believes in personalised nourishment.

• Vata types do better with warm, grounding, oily foods.
• Pitta types need cooling, hydrating, less spicy meals.
• Kapha types thrive on light, dry, warm meals with less sugar and dairy.

When you eat with awareness of your Prakriti, your body doesn’t fight back — it flows.

2. Mental Wellness Through Balance

Each dosha influences not just your body, but your mind:

• Vata minds are creative but anxious when imbalanced.
• Pitta minds are sharp but can get irritable.
• Kapha minds are calm but can feel stuck or heavy.

Once you understand your default tendencies, you can use Ayurvedic tools like Shirodhara, Abhyanga, pranayama and herbal adaptogens to stay balanced. At Padmved, our formulations are built keeping this deep Ayurvedic intelligence in mind.

3. Lifestyle That Works with You, Not Against You

From what time you wake up to the kind of exercise you should do — your Prakriti guides it all.

• Vata types need grounding routines, gentle yoga, warm baths.
• Pitta types benefit from cooling walks, meditation, and regular breaks.
• Kapha types feel better with stimulation, movement, and early wake-up calls.

This is the long-term healing Ayurveda is famous for — slow, steady, personalised. Just like we believe in at Padmved Wellness.
