This concept is known as Prakriti (body constitutional type). This concept in Ayurveda is the classification of human beings into three doshas – vata, pitta, and kapha and their mixed constitutional types called Prakriti. These body types also influence the manifestation and course of diseases in an individual and response to treatments and prognosis. A person with a Vata body type will typically have dry skin and hair and cold hands and feet. The second dosha Ayurveda describes is Pitta dosha.
