*Vd. Shilpa Yadav and Vd. P. U. Deshmukh

Abstract

Prakruti is the constitution of an individual which is decided by birth depending on the factors like predominance of doshas at the time of conception, condition of mother’s womb, food habits of mother and predominance of Pancha Mahabhuta. Depending upon the predominance of Dosha 7 different types of Prakruti have been mentioned. According to Vagbhata, Nidra is Tama and Kapha pradhana and hence the Kapha Prakruti persons will have more Nidra. By this statement it can also be understood that Nidra will be less in Vata and Pitta pradhana prakruti persons. Hence the present study is designed to see the pattern of Nidra in Various groups of Prakruti among the healthy individuals.
