Vata, the primary dosha in Ayurvedic’s tridosha system is composed of the space and air elements and is synonymous with Vayu derived from the Sanskrit root Va (to move/ to blow).
It maintains proper functioning of all bodily systems and produces movement of the muscles, thoughts, feelings and nerve impulses. Vata can be observed through speech, communication, coordination, respiration, elimination and when balanced produces creativity, joy and clarity.
