Vata Dosha

Vata dosha, associated with the elements of air and ether, is characterized by qualities such as lightness, dryness, coldness, roughness, subtlety, mobility, and clarity. To balance Vata, favour warm, moist, and grounding foods with sweet, sour, and salty tastes. Incorporate cooked grains, root vegetables, soups, dairy products, nuts, and seeds into your diet while avoiding cold, dry, and raw foods, including salads and dried fruits. Maintain a regular routine, stay warm, and engage in calming activities like yoga and meditation to support your well-being. Avoid excessive travel, irregular schedules, and cold environments.
