Abstract

Background and Objectives: Ayurvedic theory proposes a person’s mind-body type (Deha Prakriti) is related to the condition of their digestive system (Agni) and to the responsiveness of their alimentary canal (Koshta). However, these relationships have never been statistically verified. Evidence also suggests the condition of a person’s digestive system and gut responsiveness are related to cardiovascular risk factors, but the relationships between them, too, have also not been statistically tested.

Methods: One hundred and sixty patients underwent pulse diagnosis for general health assessment, including measurements of weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), blood pressure, and diet. Results: Results suggest each Deha Prakriti was related to its respective Agni and Kostha. For example, a Vata-dominant Deha Prakriti was correlated to Vishamagni and to Krura Koshta. Results also indicate Deha Prakriti, Agni, and Koshta were generally associated to weight, BMI, and diet, but not to hypertension, a finding also advanced by Ayurvedic theory.

Discussion: These data suggest for the first time that Ayurvedic assessment of mind-body type and gastrointestinal conditions are related to each other and somewhat to cardiovascular risk factors, and provide confirmatory insights into fundamental Ayurvedic principles, a topic yet to be empirically examined despite its importance for health.
