• Creative, quick-thinking, energetic

• Light build, dry skin, sensitive digestion

When Balanced: Vata types are lively, imaginative, and full of ideas.
When Imbalanced: They may feel anxious, scattered, or experience insomnia and bloating.

• Warm, nourishing foods (soups, stews)

• Routine & rest

• Oil massage (Abhyanga)

🔥 Pitta Dosha – The Fire & Water Type
