What is vata
imbalance?
The mental, emotional, and physical plane
contains all of the qualities of vata all the
time. But imbalances make them overly
dominant. So too many dry, cool, light,
rough, mobile, subtle, and airy qualities can
provoke symptoms. These include anxiety,
restlessness, insomnia, spacing out, and
uncontrolled proliferation of thoughts. A
vata imbalance affects the nervous system.
It affects the ability of the digestive system
to remove waste from the body. It also
impacts the workings of pitta dosha and
kapha dosha.
Causes
Ayurveda’s belief that "like increases like"
forms the basis of how doshic imbalances
work. Whatever qualities you bring into
your life will increase the dosha that has
them.
