Assessment Questions and Observations to Determine Prakriti Types in Ayurveda
General Questions:
Body Type:
Do you have a lean, tall, and delicate build (Vata), a medium build (Pitta), or a larger build (Kapha)?
How would you describe your muscle tone/size?
Skin Characteristics:
Is your skin dry and cool (Vata), warm and sensitive (Pitta), or oily and smooth (Kapha)?
Do you “tan” easily or have a tendency to burn
Hair Type:
Is your hair thin and dry (Vata), straight and fine (Pitta), or thick and wavy (Kapha)?
What is the natural color and texture of your hair?
Digestion:
How is your appetite—variable (Vata), strong (Pitta), or sluggish (Kapha)?
Are your bowel movements regular and well-formed, or do you experience constipation or diarrhea?
Energy Levels:
Do you often feel energized and restless (Vata), easily irritated or intense (Pitta), or sluggish and relaxed (Kapha)?
Sleep Patterns:
How many hours of sleep do you generally need?
Is your sleep deep and restful, or do you experience disturbances?
Emotional Tendencies:
How do you typically react to stress—are you anxious (Vata), aggressive (Pitta), or complacent (Kapha)?
What are your general moods throughout the day?
Additional Observations:
Facial Features: Observe facial structure; a Vata face may be angular, Pitta may have sharp features, while Kapha could present with rounder, fuller cheeks.
Eye Characteristics: Assess eye clarity and color; Vata tends to have dry and small eyes, Pitta has sharp, slightly reddened eyes, and Kapha often has large, soft eyes.
Nail and Teeth Conditions: Notice if the nails are brittle (Vata), strong but sensitive (Pitta), or thick and covered (Kapha).
Temperature Sensitivity: Determine if the individual tends to feel cold (Vata), warm (Pitta), or stable (Kapha).
Validation Techniques:
Naadi Pariksha (Pulse Diagnosis): An experienced practitioner assesses the subtle vibrations in the pulse to decode the doshic imbalances and prakriti.
Mathematical Calculations: With specific algorithms that analyze responses from the above questions, the proportion of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha is calculated to derive a detailed prakriti profile.
Assessment through these questions and observations, alongside traditional methods like Naadi and mathematical calculations, ensures a comprehensive understanding of an individual's constitution in Ayurveda.

Waist and Hip sizes are sought by us for certain body types as they are crucial for us to understand the metabolism impact for your endocrine regions.
We prefer speaking to the Patient and respect the Care givers and family members input as we relate to speech, facial movements covering eyes, lips, jaws, mouth, eyebrows, hands, legs etc.. Certain questions are purposely repeated by the panel to determine Memory recall and validation of your tone and personality.
