the healthier we will be.Prakruti,
the life long code that determines particulars of our
total physiology, is embedded in each layer of physical
tissue, or dhatu.

such as the environment (i.e. weather, pollution, poor
air and light quality), negative emotions, inappropriate
diet, etc. What may be stressful for one body type is
often supportive of another. Luckily, ayurveda provides
a system so that appropriate practices and guidelines
for each dosha, or general body type, are determinable.
To
safely utilize the methods ayurveda, it is important
that you consult an ayurvedic physician. The information
in this section is here solely to introduce the principles
of ayurveda.
You
can get an idea of what your dosha may be by
taking the following quiz.
Remember, as in all medical matters, a trained physician
is the only way to safely determine what practices are
safe for you.
