Ayurveda primarily focuses on an individual's constitution (Prakriti), the balance of doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), and the influence of environmental factors on health. Ayurveda recognizes the concept of "beeja dosha," which suggests that imbalances in the doshas at the time of conception can influence an individual's inherent nature and susceptibility to certain conditions. Ayurveda recognizes that individuals are born with a unique constitution (Prakriti) determined by the combination of doshas. This inherent constitution is influenced by factors such as the doshas of the parents at the time of conception.

 

Ayurveda emphasises the impact of environmental factors, diet, lifestyle, and mental well-being on health. While genetic factors may play a role, the emphasis is on maintaining a balance in the doshas and adopting a healthy lifestyle to prevent and manage diseases. Ayurvedic treatments are highly individualised and are based on an assessment of an individual's unique constitution, current doshic imbalances (Vikriti), and overall health status. The focus is on restoring balance and promoting overall well-being.
