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.

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

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, cupping and bodywork, and modern interventions like IV drips and red light therapy. This is what I strive to do in my own assessments and treatment.
