Vata

Vata is the energy of movement, creativity, and transformation. It is composed of the elements air and ether (space), making it light, dry, cool, and ever-changing—like the wind.

People with a dominant Vata dosha tend to be energetic, imaginative, and quick-thinking. They often have a thin or delicate frame, dry skin, and variable energy levels. Their minds move quickly, which fuels creativity—but can also lead to restlessness if not grounded.

✧ When Vata is in balance:

  • You feel inspired, energized, and mentally clear
  • Your digestion, sleep, and circulation work smoothly
  • You’re flexible, expressive, and full of ideas

✧ When Vata is out of balance:

  • There could be dry skin, bloating, constipation, or insomnia
  • You might feel cold, fatigued, or have trouble focusing

✧ How to balance Vata:

  • Favor warm, grounding foods and routines
  • Stay hydrated and keep your body warm
  • Practice gentle movement, rest, and mindful breathing
