Abstract

Prakriti is an important concept in Ayurveda to understand the nature and severity of disease, reaction of body to the drugs (pharmacogenomics), selection of drugs and their doses, prognosis of the disease and preventive measures such as diet, diurnal and seasonal regimes. Anger is one of the most prevalent behavioral problems among the adolescents. The increasing crime rates and violent activities of youth in India have made the researcher to focus on aggression and anger among adolescent children. There is a need of the proper study assessments of anger and development of prevention and intervention modules for adolescent children. The present study is selected because of lack of research in Ayurveda on this topic and Anger is one of the major issue among adolescent children. If we know that any Prakriti has certain relation with anger then we can improve the behavior of children and anger management can be done with various types of meditation, yoga and through specific diet also.
