What is Vata Dosha?

The word Vata means 'blowing' or 'moving like the wind'. Vata contains elements such as air and space and governs all movements of the mind and body. It controls blood circulation in the brain, removal of waste products, breathing, and thinking movements. Vata is dry, cold, light, mobile, changeable, thin, rough, and fast.

 Pitta Dosha and Capadosha cannot be done without them, therefore Vata is considered the forerunner of the three Ayurvedic figures. It is very important to maintain the Vata balance.

Upon death, it rises from the body and takes us into various unpretentious universes, as evidenced by the energy of our will and the karma that flows through it. When fully created, it gives us the ability to go beyond the outside world and mysterious forces. Yoga practice is mainly concerned with the development of Udana.

Apana Vayu: (Air moved down)

 It extends from the navel to the anus and centers the large intestine. It is responsible for excretion, urination, menstruation, childbirth, and sexual activity. The descending air, Apana, carries the vitality downward and causes a transfer or fall in consciousness. Apana supports and controls all other forms of data, and its intervention is at the root of most vata problems (since the large intestine is the center of Vata). As a downward force, it causes falls and falls when angered. Therefore Apana therapy is an important consideration in Vata therapy.
