VATA DOSHA
Vata means wind, it exists as air that is held in the body such as in the joints, the hips and lower back. Vata folks are usually thin and tall, possibly even lanky. They are mentally and physically active. Vatas prefer creative activities, meeting new people, and traveling to exotic places. When they are balanced, vatas are flexible; they enjoy lively imaginations, and are original thinkers. When imbalanced they can get anxious. They tend to suffer from dry skin and prefer warm, humid weather. It is normal for vatas to suffer from cold extremities and cracking joints. The influence of the air element in their constitution allows for dramatic fluctuations in appetite, energy, mood. Consequently, vatas tend to forget to eat or sleep. As a result, they may range from eating heavy foods or ingesting stimulants like coffee to sustain intense physical or mental activity.
