Abstract
Prakriti is constitution and temperament, physique and nature, physical and mental makeup, general built and habits. In classical texts of Ayurveda three doshas namely vata, pitta, kapha and three guna namely satva, raja, tama mentioned according to different acharyas. Ayurveda says that everyone is made up of five bhautika tatvas and one jivatma that is self consciousness. Five tatvas are namely: Akasha (space), Jala (water), Teja (agni), Vayu (air), Prithvi (earth). These combination of 6 elements gives rise doshas which are three in number namely vata, pitta, kapha. The three gunas are each associated with a specific characteristic, sattvik (purity), rajas (activity) and tamas (darkness). These doshas shows physiological and psychological tendencies. Humans, food and various objects are composed of these three gunas. Gunas are qualities, dravya stands for the 5 elements and dosha represents movement. Together, they form the basis of three constituents. The main purpose of this article is about to establish relationship and therapeutic approach between doshas and gunas.
