Physical Characteristics: <br />

Those with a predominance of Vata dosha<br />

usually have a thin, light frame <strong>and</strong><br />

excellent agility. Their energy comes in<br />

bursts <strong>and</strong> they are likely to experience<br />

sudden bouts of fatigue. Vatas typically have<br />

dry skin <strong>and</strong> hair <strong>and</strong> cold h<strong>and</strong>s <strong>and</strong> feet.<br />

They sleep lightly <strong>and</strong> their digestion can<br />

be sensitive. When the Vata dosha becomes<br />

imbalanced, it manifests in the body as<br />

weight loss, constipation, hypertension,<br />

arthritis, weakness, restlessness, <strong>and</strong><br />

digestive challenges.
