SUSHRUTA SAMHITA.
3 mental aspects of Prakriti
The word Prakriti is made up of Sattva, Rajas and Tamas.
1. Sattva = ( pra ) = White, Purity, Knowledge,
Happiness, Bliss, Power, Peace, Love
2. Rajas = ( kri ) Red, Painful, Mobile,
3. Tamas = ( ti ) Dark, Inertia, Confusion,
Resistant, Slow and Dullness

1. Sattvic Prakriti ( Mainly Space
dominated with elements of Fire +
Space + Water )
2. Rajasik Prakriti ( Mainly Vata
dominated i.e. Air + Ether )
3. Tamasik Prakriti ( Mainly Kapha
dominated i.e. Earth + Water )
Knowing the Dosha type ( Physical characteristics ) and
Guna types ( Mental characteristics ) one can understand and
determine ones nature.
Ascertaining the nature is very important tool to diagnose and
treat in Ayurveda.
It helps a physician to make a personal diet chart, life style
plans, and exercise schedules as per individual personality.
Thats why Ayurveda is called Holistic medicine
Every individual has unique doshas,
unique characteristics, and unique
nutritional requirements.
Knowing these can help in a great
deal to treat a disease and maintain
health.
