Vikriti Assessment
Understand your current imbalance — Vata, Pitta, and Kapha today
A guided questionnaire that maps how stress, season, diet, and lifestyle may be pulling you away from your natural constitution. Sign in to take it; results help personalise present-state guidance on ayuveda.ai.
Understanding Vikriti
Adults who already sense they feel “off,” or who have a Prakriti baseline and want a snapshot of current Dosha imbalance patterns — not a lifelong type label.
What Vikriti is
Vikriti is your current state of Dosha expression — how Vata, Pitta, and Kapha show up right now. Unlike Prakriti (your birth constitution), Vikriti can shift with season, travel, stress, sleep debt, diet, and ageing.
What it means in Ayurveda
Classical practice often compares Vikriti to Prakriti to see the gap that needs tending. Symptoms, digestion, sleep, and mood changes are read as clues about which Dosha is aggravated — so lifestyle advice can aim at balance rather than a fixed type.
How ayuveda.ai uses it
Your Vikriti snapshot sits beside Prakriti in your health context. Ask AI and lifestyle tools can then speak to present imbalance while still honouring your lifelong baseline — especially useful when seasons or stress change how you feel.
Model / tradition: Classical Vikriti (current-state) assessment framed for digital use. Educational questionnaire on recent physical and mental patterns — not a clinical diagnosis or pulse exam.
Signs of current imbalance
These cards describe common recent patterns when a Dosha is aggravated. They are educational clues, not a checklist for self-diagnosis.
Vata imbalance
Recent dryness & irregularity
“Cold, light, mobile, irregular”
- Scattered focus, anxiety, or restlessness
- Variable appetite, gas, or constipation
- Light, interrupted sleep
- Dry skin, joints, or cold extremities
Pitta imbalance
Recent heat & intensity
“Hot, sharp, oily, intense”
- Irritability, impatience, or sharp criticism
- Acid reflux, hunger urgency, or loose stools
- Heat intolerance or skin flushing
- Intense drive that tips into burnout
Kapha imbalance
Recent heaviness & stagnation
“Heavy, slow, cool, sticky”
- Sluggish mornings and low motivation
- Congestion, mucus, or lingering colds
- Weight gain or water retention tendency
- Attachment, lethargy, or emotional heaviness
Prakriti vs Vikriti
Prakriti answers “who am I when balanced?” Vikriti answers “what is out of balance now?” Take Prakriti first when you can — then use Vikriti to see the present gap. Guidance that only names a type without checking current state can miss seasonal or stress-driven shifts.
Take Prakriti AssessmentBaseline
Prakriti
Stable constitution — lifelong frame, digestion rhythm, and temperament when you are generally well.
Present state
Vikriti
Recent weeks to months — symptoms and patterns that may have drifted from your baseline.

Pair with Prakriti and Agni
Use constitution (Prakriti) and digestive fire (Agni) tools for a fuller picture, then ask the AI with that combined context.
How to answer well
Vikriti is about the recent past. Prefer the last few weeks or months over “how I have always been.”
- Answer for the past weeks or months — seasonal shifts, travel, deadlines, and diet changes count here.
- If you feel very different from your usual self, lean into the recent pattern rather than childhood habits.
- Acute illness or a single bad night can skew one answer; aim for the broader recent trend.
- If you already know your Prakriti, keep that in mind as contrast — but still answer Vikriti for how you feel now.
What you get
- Educational overview of which Dosha patterns are most active now
- Context to compare with Prakriti when you have a constitution baseline
- Present-state notes that help personalise Ask AI and lifestyle framing
- Clear reminders that results are educational — not a clinical diagnosis
Vikriti FAQs
Vikriti is your current Dosha state — how Vata, Pitta, and Kapha are expressing now. It can change with lifestyle, season, and stress, while Prakriti (constitution) is considered relatively stable.
