Acharya Charaka described six types of jatyadi Prakriti in Indriyasthana. <ref>Charaka Samhita (Indriyasthanam Adhyaya 1 Sutram 5)</ref> External factors, age, habits and environmental factors are closely associated with the dosha levels in the sharira of an individual. Alike effect of prakti forming dosha leveles, one's characteristics are also influenced by these factors to the great extent and thus these factors have been given importance. Ayurveda acharyas had very much recognized the peculiar characteristics of individuals belonging to particular race, particular region, lineage, age group etc. Hence few characteristics of an individuals which might not be coherent with the dosha prakrti of that person could be the result of Jatyadi prakrti as described in Charaka Samhita. In Ashtangasangraha, all these are described as factors influencing the formation of Prakriti. |
