[[Prakriti]] is the most important component that affects an individual's vulnerability to many diseases, as well as their prognosis, course, and consequences. Severe illness is caused by similar [[dosha]] in [[prakriti]] and samprapti (pathology). Individuals with a [[vata]], [[pitta]], or [[kapha]] dominance in [[prakriti]] are susceptible for [[vata]], [[pitta]], or [[kapha]] dominant illness, respectively. Individuals with vata prakriti have dry skin and hair, lean phenotypes, and are prone to fatigue, nervous system diseases, and insomnia, among other things. Pitta prakriti people have strong personalities and are prone to inflammatory ailments such as ulcers. Whereas kapha prakriti people have heavy bones, muscle, and fat and are more susceptible to respiratory disorders and obesity-related comorbid conditions.<ref name=Valiathan>Valiathan M.
