Abstract	Abstract Background: Prakriti (the baseline psychosomatic constitution) is a cornerstone concept of Ayurvedic medicine, signifying an individual's unique biological, physiological, and psychological blueprint. Classical texts like the Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita state that a child's Prakriti is determined at the moment of conception by parental factors (Shukra and Shonita). However, this structural transmission is not a static linear copy; it acts as a dynamic polygenic blueprint influenced heavily by intrauterine ecology and maternal epigenetics. Objective: This article presents a comprehensive academic synthesis evaluating the direct phenotypic and constitutional impact of parental Prakriti on offspring, examining the prenatal mechanics, phenotypic transmission models, and clinical systems utilized to track Prakriti across generations. Conclusion: Empirical data and traditional literature confirm a highly positive correlation between parental constitutional components and the resulting child phenotypic traits. Mapping these hereditary expressions enables personalized pediatric medicine, optimizing child development, academic tracking, and disease prevention (Vikriti management) from early infancy.
