Understanding Your Prakriti and Its Role in Pregnancy
How constitution shapes needs, tendencies and care during pregnancy.
Prakṛti describes your underlying constitution. It offers a starting point for understanding tendencies, while pregnancy adds changing demands that require attention to the present.
Constitution is a foundation
Your natural pattern can help explain how you tend to respond to food, weather, stress, sleep and change.
Pregnancy is dynamic
Current symptoms are not explained by constitution alone. Stage of pregnancy, season, history and environment all influence what support is appropriate.
Personalize rather than prescribe
The value of knowing prakṛti is not to place yourself in a fixed category. It is to make care more responsive to the person and moment.
