What is Vata Dosha?

Vata Dosha is one of the three primary doshas in Ayurveda, a traditional system of medicine in India, and refers to the energy that governs movement, communication, and creativity in the body. Vata is characterized by a dominant air and ether element, and is often associated with qualities such as dryness, coldness, lightness, and mobility, and is typically balanced when we have a good circulation of air and a sense of calm and clarity.
