According to Ayurveda, the unique Prakriti (constitution) of an individual comprises of three primary "life-forces". These three life-forces commonly know as the "Tridosha" are Vata, Pitta and Kapha and can be compared to mahabhutas i.e. air, fire and water respectively. The doshas are spread all over the body and regulate functioning and provide particular physical characteristics.Through each person is made up of the three doshas, the proportion varies between individuals.The proportion of doshas in a person is determined at the time of conception. The doshas predominant in the spem, the ovum and the uterus decide the unique constitution of the individual.
 The Prakriti of a person is primarily determined by the dominant dosha. Health, according to Ayurveda, is the state of equlibrium of the three dosha. So, once a person knows about his constitution, he can choose a diet, lifestyle and activites, which restricts imbalance in the doshas.The knowledge of constituion also plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. For example, a Vata type person is more likely to have Vata related disorders like arthrirts, constipation, insomnia, anxiety, dry skin, paralysis, migraine, palpitation and weak memory.This assesment also assists in determining the appropriate treatment. For example, a Kapha type person can easily tolerate medicine, which is hot in nature, in contrast to a Pitta(fire) type as a Pitta type who already has lots of heat in their body.
The knowledge of one's constitution is very important, not only to determine healthy eating habits and lifestype, but also helps in prescribing treatment and prognosis of a disease.
