what is my prakruti, diabities,bp and cholesterol (ama) reversal ,want to know aboutmybody ritucharya ,aahar charya - #26942

What’s age of your father?

To know which Dosha is prominent you have to go through a set of questionnaires through which we can tell which Dosha is prominent and accordingly we advise diet and lifestyle changes if required then medication

​Based on the information provided, it’s not possible to determine your specific prakriti, provide a personalized aahar charya (dietary plan), or offer medical advice regarding your health conditions and your father’s condition.

​Why This Information Cannot Be Provided

​Prakriti Analysis: Determining prakriti (the unique constitution of an individual in Ayurveda) It involves a comprehensive assessment of physical, mental, and emotional characteristics, lifestyle, and medical history. It’s a complex process that cannot be done remotely with the limited information provided.

​

​Plaque Reversal: The question of reversing plaque in arteries is a significant medical concern. While some lifestyle and dietary changes can help manage and potentially slow the progression of atherosclerosis (plaque buildup), the specific approach for your father would need to be determined by his cardiologist. Any changes to his treatment plan should be discussed with his doctor.

​Dietary Recommendations (Aahar Charya): A personalized diet plan in Ayurveda (aahar charya) is based on your specific prakriti, the current state of your health (vikriti), the season (ritucharya), and other factors. Without a proper assessment, any dietary recommendations would be generic and potentially unhelpful or even harmful.

​What You Should Do

​Consult an nearest Ayurvedic Doctor: To understand your prakriti and get a personalized Ayurvedic health plan, you must consult a qualified and experienced Ayurvedic physician. They can perform a proper evaluation and provide guidance on diet, lifestyle, and herbal remedies tailored to your needs.

​Consult Your Allopathic Doctor/Cardiologist: For your and your father’s chronic illnesses (BP, diabetes, cholesterol, etc.), it is crucial to continue following the advice of your allopathic doctors. They are the best resource for managing these conditions, including the plaque buildup in your father’s arteries. Do not make any changes to your medication or treatment plan without consulting them.

​Focus on General Health Principles: While you await professional consultations, you can focus on some general principles that are beneficial for most people with these conditions:

​Diet: A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins is generally recommended. Reducing intake of processed foods, refined sugars, saturated fats, and trans fats is usually advised.

​Exercise: Regular physical activity, as recommended by your doctor, is essential for managing BP, diabetes, and cholesterol.

​Stress Management: Practicing yoga, meditation, or other relaxation techniques can help with stress, which is a significant factor in many chronic illnesses. ​

Hello dear,

*Prakriti in Ayurveda is an individual’s unique psycho-physiological constitution, determined at the time of conception. It defines an individual’s physical, physiological, and mental characteristics, and influences how they react to the environment, including diet and medicine. There are seven types of Sharirika Prakriti, including Vata, Pitta, Kapha, and combinations like Vata-Pitta.

*Your prakriti remains constant throughout your life, but it can be influenced by factors like diet, lifestyle, and environment.

*To accurately determine your dominant doshas (prominent, second, and third), a proper consultation with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner is crucial. Online quizzes, while available, cannot provide the in-depth analysis required to understand your unique constitution.

TAKE CARE 😊

Take private consultation

To know prakruti you need physical consultation with ayurvedic doctor or you can also do it online on website that offer prakruti questionnaire. Plaque reversal can done in programmes where reversal are claimed. You can do kapalbhati, brahmri, lom-vilom bhastrika daily for 5-10mins twice.

hello khartaram Kumawat,

You are looking at two aspects here understanding your own body constitution (Prakruti) and your father’s cardiovascular health. Let’s address them step by step.

Your Prakruti assessment: Based on your age, history of weak digestion, joint pains, low ojas, and tendency for metabolic issues (like high BP, diabetes, cholesterol), your body shows signs of Kapha and Vata imbalance, with Pitta being the third. Likely your dominant dosha is Kapha, making you prone to sluggish metabolism, fat accumulation, and cholesterol issues. Vata comes next, which explains joint pains and low energy, and Pitta is relatively less prominent, though it can cause occasional irritability or digestive acidity.

Regarding your father’s heart condition, formation of plaque in arteries is often due to Ama (undigested toxins) accumulation and Medo Dhatu imbalance in Ayurvedic terms. Modern understanding aligns with cholesterol and fat deposits over time. Complete reversal of existing plaque is very difficult, but slowing progression, improving blood flow, and stabilizing plaque is achievable with a combination of lifestyle, diet, and medications.

Your diet and lifestyle guidance to support your Prakruti and prevent further issues:

Prefer light, warm, easily digestible foods; avoid heavy, oily, fried foods. Include green leafy vegetables, high-fiber foods, whole grains, and legumes. Use spices like turmeric, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, and black pepper to boost digestion and metabolism. Avoid excessive sugar, processed foods, and heavy dairy. Drink warm water throughout the day; avoid cold drinks and ice. Regular moderate exercise: brisk walking, yoga, or swimming to balance Kapha and improve circulation. Reduce stress through pranayama, meditation, or gentle breathing exercises, as stress aggravates Vata and Pitta.

For your father, the focus should be on:

Following cardiologist’s advice and medications for stents and cholesterol.

Ayurveda can support digestion, circulation, and fat metabolism but should be complementary, not a replacement for allopathy in this case. Herbs like Arjuna, Guggulu, Triphala may help stabilize cholesterol and support heart tissue under supervision.

Avoid ama-forming foods: fried, processed, excessively sweet or heavy foods. Favor light, warm, easy-to-digest meals.

With consistent dietary management, lifestyle changes, and supportive medicines, you can prevent further plaque buildup, support heart health, and improve your own metabolism. Regular follow-ups with both Ayurvedic and allopathic doctors are essential.

Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

YOUR QUESTION

1. What is Prakriti (Body Constitution)? Prakriti refers to the natural constitution of a person determined at conception. It reflects physical, mental, and emotional tendencies that remain relatively constant throughout life. Ayurveda classifies Prakriti based on the dominance of three Doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Vata: Air and Ether – associated with movement, creativity, and nervous system activity. Pitta: Fire and Water – associated with metabolism, digestion, and intensity. Kapha: Water and Earth – associated with stability, strength, and calmness.

2. Prakriti Analysis Questions To determine Prakriti, practitioners ask questions in these domains: a. Physical Characteristics What is your body frame (slim, medium, or heavy)? How is your skin (dry, oily, rough, smooth)? What is your hair texture (fine, thick, oily, dry, curly)? How are your eyes (small and active, sharp, large and calm)? What is your appetite (irregular, strong, slow)? How is your digestion (gas-prone, strong, slow)? b. Mental Characteristics How is your memory (short, sharp, long-term)? How fast or focused is your thinking? How do you handle emotions (anxious, angry, calm)? How do you make decisions (quick, calculative, deliberate)? c. Sleep Patterns How long do you sleep and how deep is your sleep? Do you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep? d. Response to Environment Do you prefer hot or cold weather? How do you react to seasonal changes? e. Lifestyle Preferences Do you prefer movement or stillness? How do you cope with stress? f. Energy Levels Is your energy consistent or fluctuating? Do you burn out easily?

3. Dosha Characteristics Based on Answers Vata individuals are usually slim, active, creative, have dry skin, irregular appetite, light sleep, and are prone to anxiety or restlessness. Pitta individuals are usually medium build, muscular, have warm or oily skin, strong appetite, sharp intellect, and may experience anger or irritability. Kapha individuals are usually heavy, strong, calm, have smooth skin, slow digestion, deep sleep, and are steady and emotionally calm.

4. Astrological Correlation with Prakriti Astrology (Jyotish) provides clues about Prakriti by analyzing the birth chart (Janma Kundali), including Lagna (Ascendant), planets, zodiac signs, and Nakshatras. a. Zodiac Signs and Dosha Vata Prakriti is associated with air and ether signs: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius. Pitta Prakriti is associated with fire signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius. Kapha Prakriti is associated with water and earth signs: Taurus, Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces, Virgo, Capricorn. b. Planets and Dosha Vata: Saturn, Rahu, sometimes Moon – linked with mobility and nervous tendencies. Pitta: Sun, Mars – linked with energy, intensity, and metabolism. Kapha: Venus, Moon, Jupiter – linked with stability, calmness, and growth. c. Lagna (Ascendant) Fire-sign Lagna (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) → likely Pitta-dominant. Air-sign Lagna (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) → likely Vata-dominant. Earth/Water-sign Lagna (Taurus, Cancer, Pisces) → likely Kapha-dominant. d. Nakshatras (Lunar Mansions) Certain Nakshatras indicate Dosha tendencies: Vata Nakshatras: Swati, Ashwini, Bharani. Pitta Nakshatras: Krittika, Punarvasu, Magha. Kapha Nakshatras: Rohini, Anuradha, Pushya.

5. Example of Integration A person with Leo Lagna, dominant Sun/Mars, and strong digestion → Pitta Prakriti. A person with Gemini Lagna, Saturn/Rahu influence, and slim build → Vata Prakriti. A person with Taurus Lagna, Venus/Jupiter influence, and slow digestion → Kapha Prakriti.

6. Benefits of Combining Ayurveda & Astrology Offers a holistic understanding of health and temperament. Helps in predicting Dosha imbalances through planetary influences. Can guide diet, lifestyle, herbs, and therapeutic interventions according to both Prakriti and planetary periods (Dasha).

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

To determine your prakriti accurately, a detailed evaluation by a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner is necessary. This typically involves examining physical characteristics, mental attributes and even your personal history. However, for a general guide:

- Vata prominence is often associated with a thin, dry body and an active mind. - Pitta is typically characterized by a medium build, fair or reddish skin and sharp intellect. - Kapha tends to have a sturdy build, oily skin and calm demeanor.

Understanding these can help lead you to focus on balancing accordingly with lifestyle and diet.

Regarding your father’s condition, which suggests possible ‘ama’ (toxins) and ‘medo dhatu dushti’ (disorder in fat tissue), addressing these requires a multi-pronged approach. Ayurvedic detoxification methods like Panchakarma may help in reducing ama, though such treatments should only be pursued under close supervision of a professional due to the complexity and intensity involved.

On your dietary front, cleansing the body of ama can start with light, warm foods. Incorporate ginger, turmeric, and garlic, known for their anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic properties. Implement foods high in omega-3 fatty acids, like flaxseeds or chia seeds, which are valuable in purifying the blood. Try to avoid processed foods, excessive dairy, red meats, and heavy-to-digest meals.

For reversing build-up in your father’s arteries, it’s crucial to follow modern medical advisories, prioritizing heart-healthy diets, stress reduction methods like yoga or meditation, and ensuring adherence to prescribed medications. Ayurveda can complement but shouldn’t replace conventional treatments in such critical conditions. Consult with his healthcare provider to incorporate safe therapeutic practices alongside traditional medicine.

While ayurvedic approaches can support lifestyle adjustments, an integrative health plan considering modern stressors and dietary habits can be more effective. Remember, personalized guidance from a practitioner is crucial in tailoring, these practices specific to you both.

To determine your prakruti, it’s important to assess your physical characteristics, mental tendencies, and habitual patterns as they align with the three doshas: vata, pitta, and kapha. Generally, individuals won’t be perfectly aligned with one specific dosha but tend to have one dominant and another secondary. Without direct assessment through pulse diagnosis or other traditional methods, you might observe which qualities resonate most with your natural tendencies. Vata-dominated individuals tend to be light, quick, and active; pitta types often have intense, fiery energy and a sharp intellect; while kapha people are typically steady, calm, and grounded.

Regarding your father, if he has had a heart attack, the role of ama (toxic undigested materials) and medo (fat tissue) in aggravating conditions like atherosclerosis is significant in Ayurveda. To help manage this, Ayurvedic principles suggest detoxifying and balancing these elements. Encourage the consumption of light, easily digestible foods; reduce or eliminate heavy, oily, and processed foods which may contribute to ama. Warm, cooked meals with spices like turmeric, ginger, and garlic can support digestion and reduce ama accumulation, thereby aiding meda dhatu.

For your own diet, emphasize a tridoshic balance focusing on fresh, seasonal foods. Digestive spices like cumin, coriander, and fennel can assist in sustaining healthy agni. Also, consult with a healthcare provider for your father’s cardiovascular condition. While Ayurveda supports wellness, modern medical interventions should be prioritized when managing post-cardiac event care to ensure safe and effective treatment outcomes.
