Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you underweight? Are you easily fatigued? Do you experience discomfort in the joints? Do you suffer from dryness, insomnia, constipation? Are you constantly restless or agitated? Is your skin dry, rough, thin? If so, you need to balance your Vata Dosha... Ayurveda, which derives from ancient Vedic scriptures, is a 5,000-year-old medical ideology and philosophy based on the idea that we are all made up of different types of energy. There are three doshas in Ayurveda that describe the dominant state of mind/body-Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. While all three are present in everyone, Ayurveda suggests that we each have a dominant dosha that is unwavering from birth, and ideally an equal (though often fluctuating) balance between the other two. If doshas are balanced, we are healthy; when they are unbalanced, we develop a disorder commonly expressed by skin problems, impaired nutrition, insomnia, irritability, and anxiety. Vata, Pitta, and Kapha are all important to our biology in some way, so no one is greater than, or superior to, any other. Each has a very specific set of basic functions to perform in the body. That said, when the doshas are out of control, our wellbeing can be damaged. However, before we get into the particulars of each of the three doshas, it is helpful to understand their basic nature and their wider function in the natural world. Each of the doshas has its own special strengths and weaknesses, and with a little awareness, you can do a lot to remain healthy and balanced. You can use this series to adjust your lifestyles and routines in a way that supports your constitution. I've made a complete series of these three. This is Vata; the other two are also available. Because Pitta and Kapha cannot pass without it, Vata is assumed to be the chief of the three Ayurvedic Standards in the body. It is therefore really important to keep Vata in a good balance. Vata reflects the energy of motion and is therefore always associated with the wind (and the element of air). Vata is the invisible force of movement-composed of space and air. It controls breathing, blinking, contraction of muscle and tissue, pulsation of the heart, and all movements of the cytoplasm and cell membranes. Vata encourages innovation, creativity, and versatility in a balanced way. But it also causes fear and anxiety when out of control. In Ayurvedic medicine, the Vata Dosha is the lightest and most innovative of all doshas. When Vata type are out of control, their creative minds and bodies, which are always on their way, will overwhelm themselves with fear and chaos. In this book, we'll dive deeper into what Vata means, what throws Vata out of balance, and how to identify the Vata Dosha in your environment, in yourself, and in others. With this book, I'm going to share with you everything you need to know in order to balance your Vata Dosha and use it for your overall vitality, joy, and well-being. Reading this you'll discover: ✔️Vata Characteristics ✔️Vata Doshas and Subdoshas ✔️Disorders Caused by Vata Imbalance ✔️What Causes Vata Dosha or Imbalance ✔️Ways to Deal with Vata Dosha ✔️Vata-Stabilizing Lifestyle Tips ✔️Clarification on Vata Dosha and Fasting ✔️The Relation Between Vata Dosha and Warm Foods ✔️Guidance on Different Vata Diets ✔️What Tastes to Favor for Vata Balancing ✔️Foods that Pacify Vata and What Foods to Avoid ✔️How to Eat for Vata Balancing ✔️Vata Friendly, Delicious Recipes ✔️Vata Seasonal Guide ✔️Best Yoga Poses ✔️Essential Herbs ✔️Ideal Oil Massage for Vata Balancing Just follow the book along, you'll reveal the easiest step-by-step routine to balance your Vata Dosha by the end of it!

Are your skin and hair oily? Do you experience pain in cool, humid weather? If so, you need to balance your Kapha Dosha... Ayurveda, which derives from ancient Vedic scriptures, is a 5,000-year-old medical ideology and philosophy based on the idea that we are all made up of different types of energy.

I''ve made a complete series of these three, one for each. This is Kapha; the other two are also available. Kapha is composed of elements of earth and water. Kapha has properties such as heavy, slow, and steady, but also soft, thick, hard, and cold. In the body, Kapha is liable for solidity and all structures as well as for the right volume of body fluids. Kapha controls both the structure and lubrication in the mind and body. It regulates the weight, growth, lubrication of the joints and lungs, and the creation of all seven tissues--nutrient fluids, blood, muscles, bones, marrow, and reproductive tissue. Protection is the primary feature of Kapha. Kapha type are calm, rooted, and genuine when they are in harmony. If Kaphas get out of balance, they binge-eat and under-exercise, triggering weight gain and diabetes. When Kapha is out of control, weight gain, excess mucous, lethargy, and nausea in the digestive tract can occur. Stubbornness and commitment can become a matter for the emotional body. The unbalanced Kapha skin exhibits heavy oiliness, inflammation, cystic acne, blackheads, and large pores. In this book, we''ll dive deeper into what Kapha means, what throws Kapha out of balance, and how to identify the Kapha Dosha in your environment, in yourself, and in others.

Is your skin ruddy and prone to rashes and eruptions? Are you often irritable or impatient? Is your hair prematurely gray or thinning? Do you feel discomfort in hot weather? If so, you need to balance your Pitta Dosha... Ayurveda, which derives from ancient Vedic scriptures, is a 5,000-year-old medical ideology and philosophy based on the idea that we are all made up of different types of energy.

This is Pitta; the other two are also available. To Ayurveda, Pitta is one of the three doshas-energetic forces of nature that make up the universe and everything within it, including us! Pitta is associated with the components of fire and water, but the former is more prominent. Together, they are the powerful power that controls the transformational processes of the body; metabolism and even the hormones of the body are believed to be regulated by Pitta. Pitta is the hottest, oiliest, and sharpest of the three doshas. When you feel overheated in any way, there may be an abundance of the Pitta Dosha inside your body. In this book, we'll dive deeper into what Pitta means, what throws Pitta out of balance, and how to identify the Pitta Dosha in your environment, in yourself, and in others.
