Ayurveda holds that each person is unique. Each person is unique not only in terms of size and shape but also in terms of physiological and even psychological traits. This is due to the fact that their Prakriti (constitution), which is determined by the predominance of Panchamahabhuta, Tridosha, and Triguna at the moment of birth. Once this Prakriti is established, it remains in place for the person up until death. Breathing is an essential function for survival, and alterations in lung function can hinder quality of life and performance of activities in daily life. To maintain respiratory homeostasis, the structures that compose the respiratory system need to work in equilibrium, that is the lungs should be ventilated and the gases should diffuse through the alveolar-capillary barrier. Prakriti is an important factor for making correct diagnosis of the diseases and their proper treatment. So, by knowing the functional status of lungs in different Daihik Prakriti it will be a great measure in both preventive and treatment purpose of different respiratory disorder.
