What Is My Prakruti? - #60098
I am feeling kinda lost about my health lately. I mean, I keep hearing about this prakruti vikruthi balance stuff, and honestly, I don't even fully get what prakruti and vikruthi actually mean! Like, one doc said my prakruti is mostly Vata, with some Pitta, but then my vikruthi seems all over the place. Some days I feel super anxious and restless, while other days, I’m just wiped out and sluggish. It’s like my body can’t make up its mind! I tried changing my diet and doing some yoga like everyone suggests, but I still feel confused. Are they really that different, prakruti and vikruthi? I think I read somewhere that knowing your prakruti can help you understand your health better, but what if my vikruthi is completely out of whack? I really wanna get back to that prakruti vikruthi balance everyone talks about, but how do I even start? Is it just a fancy way of saying I need to fix my diet or lifestyle? Or is there more to it? Any tips or insights would be super helpful. I just want to feel like my old self again!
