It is important to keep this dosha in balance and in its proper seat to avoid production and accumulation of toxins. Vata dosha is a combination of the air and ether elements. This represents action, movement and transportation. The qualities of Vata are dry, light, cold, rough, subtle and mobile. Vata is in our movements, actions, breathing, speech, detox, heart pumping and sense of touch. It is the kindler of digestive fire, opener of cell walls and channels, and develops and delivers babies. The seat of Vata is in the abdominal cavity bellow the belly button in the large intestine and colon. It is also in the pelvis, thighs, skin, ears, bones, heart, brain, nervous system and lungs. Each dosha (Vata, Pitta & Kapha) all have 5 subdoshas that exist. Each of these subdoshas represents the five elements (ether, air, fire, water, earth) that tie...

Ayurvedic Tips For Gas, Bloating & Flatulence

Most people at some point in their lives suffer from gas, flatulence and other issues with the colon . In small doses these are natural function of the gut. However, when it becomes very often or in long term, it can be a sign that your body has a week digestion, metabolism , or other imbalances .

Why to Change Your Diet and Lifestyle Seasonally ?

Ayurveda is the science of being in harmony with the biorhythms of nature. For this, we must follow seasonal routines and diets. Humans have created a false idea that we are separate from nature. This belief is one of the main factors that can lead to illness and disease. We cannot properly digest the same food all year round, as our internal and external environments change. Each season calls for different foods and lifestyle habits. When we adjust to be with the cycles of the seasons we will get the proper vitamins, microbes, and qualities needed to bring us into balance during seasonal transition. Environmental factors shifts dramatically season to season and so must our diet. The microbes in our body and environment shift with the changing earth. Our gut microbiome , the key to our health, is dependent on the seasonal microbes that each plant has during each season. The microbes that make up the body’s microbiome come from the soil that nourishes the plants we eat. Each plant a...
