According to Ayurveda, Prakriti or the characteristic personality of an individual is determined by a combination of the three Doshas - Vata, Pitta and Kapha. An individual's health, diseases, cure for any disease etc are governed by these three doshas. It is the combination of these three doshas that makes a person different and peculiar from others.
