Ayurvedic constitution determination
It is presumed in ayurveda that with the correct nutrition according to the type of constitution and an appropriate mode of living, many illnesses can be avoided. This means that nutrition plays a very important role. What makes ayurveda so very special is the assumption that the various types of constitution are determined at birth. It is possible to adjust one’s food and way of life, if one has knowledge of one’s own constitution. The type of consitution can be dertirmined according to an anamnesis which is be compiled through a questionnaire relating to special habits and behaviour as well as certain bodily characteristics.
