While prakriti (constitution) is your baseline nature, vikriti is your current state. This assessment identifies which doshas may be elevated right now based on recent symptoms and experiences. Compare this to your prakriti to understand what needs balancing.

Question 1 of 18

Understanding Vikriti

Prakriti vs Vikriti

Prakriti is your birth constitution - the dosha ratio you were born with. It doesn't change.
Vikriti is your current state - which doshas are elevated right now due to diet, lifestyle, stress, or season.

Why It Matters

Health is when vikriti matches prakriti. Treatment aims to return elevated doshas to their baseline. If you're a vata-pitta type with elevated kapha, you'd focus on reducing kapha to restore balance.

Interpreting Results

High scores indicate imbalance in that dosha. Compare to your prakriti: if your dominant constitutional dosha shows high imbalance, you need extra attention. If a non-dominant dosha is elevated, address it to restore equilibrium.
