Ayurveda says that every person has a unique constitution, called Prakruti (constitution), composed of a balance of three energies: Vata (movement), Pitta (transformation) and Kapha (structure and lubrication). This balance influences a person’s body type, metabolism, and behavior. This article looks at how the old Ayurvedic idea of Prakruti matches up with new genetic research, trying to find its biological basis. By analysing classical Ayurvedic texts and literature alongside modern genetic studies, researchers and many writers found a correlation between Prakriti and genetic links between Prakriti types and genes such as HLA-DRB1, ACE, MTHFR, PGMI, APOE, and CYP2C19. This suggests that the Ayurveda literature may come from specific genetic differences, which strongly supports Prakriti. Analysing Ayurveda with genetics could help for specific and customised, personalized medicine, where health care is based on a person’s unique constitution, helping predict many diseases, prevent them using the Ayurvedic way, and tailor treatments. This blend of old and modern science offers a complete, specific, personalized approach to the health of a person and the entire healthcare system
