Ayurveda believe that the every individual possess different constitutional component physiologically which differ from other. This consideration emphasizes the treatment of disease in individualized manner. Ayurveda described constitutional component as ‘Prakriti’ depending upon Tridoshic performance, since every individual offers specific Prakriti therefore prevalence and degree diseases differ individually. Ayurveda examine disease and plane treatment protocol based on the Prakriti of an individual thus the treatment approaches for same disease may vary person to person. Atisara means diarrhea is very common health problem especially in children. Vataja, Pittaja, Kaphaja, Sannipataja, Bhayaja and Shokaja are various types of Atisara.

Assessment of Prakriti in children is very important to predict disease progression and pathogenesis. The consideration of children’s Prakriti also helps to set line of treatment for the management of Atisara.
