Prakriti Assessment: Find Out Your Ayurvedic Constitution
A short, research-informed questionnaire based on patterns in your body, digestion, energy and mood. It is designed to build a clearer picture of your Ayurvedic constitution and help you understand yourself better.
General Instructions

- The options are presented in no specific order.
- Choose the option that best reflects your natural tendencies and usual patterns.
- Answer honestly and intuitively.

The BPI is a self-report questionnaire, developed and psychometrically validated in a study of 1,857 adults. It has been developed from Bhargav H, Chikkanna U, Holla B, et al. Wellcome Open Res. 2026;10:669. Item wording is reproduced verbatim from the published instrument. I will sometimes use this tool with patients as needed.
Your result
to aid in assessment and treatment.
I think Ayurveda will shape the future of medicine in combination with other natural therapies, such as acupuncture and modern interventions like IV drips and red light therapy. This is what I strive to do in my own assessments and treatment.
