There are three doshas in the body – Vata, Pitta and Kapha, whose balance is necessary. These doshas are responsible for physical, mental and emotional health. Vata dosha is related to air and sky, whose balance gets disturbed in the body and causes many problems.
Vata dosha is responsible for energy in the body. Its imbalance affects movement, circulation, breathing, heartbeat, skin, hair and nervous system. Therefore its balance is very important. Many methods have been suggested in Ayurveda to balance it.
The first way to balance Vata Dosha is Snehapana: If Vata Dosha has increased in the body then it is advised to consume oil in Ayurveda to balance it. In such a situation, you can consume sesame oil. Sesame oil is warming and balances Vata. It can be taken by mixing it with food.
Another way to balance Vata Dosha – Abhyanga: When Vata Dosha gets worsened, the problem of dryness in the body increases. You may feel this side effect on your hair and skin. In such a situation, doing Abhyanga with oil is beneficial. This provides nourishment to the skin. Apply oil on head, legs and behind the ears. It activates the nervous system.
The third way to balance Vata dosha is Swedan: Sweat. Try to sweat through exercise or yoga. This improves the flow of energy in the body.
Fourth solution to balance Vata Dosha – Good diet: This means a diet which includes three juices – sour, sweet and salty. But keep in mind that these juices should be included as healthy foods. Also, it is important to eat them hot. If your Vata dosha is aggravated then try to eat hot food daily and take care of these juices. These help in balancing Vata.
Fifth solution to balance Vata dosha – Veshtan: If Vata dosha is more or less, problems related to bones and joints start occurring in the body. In such a situation, tie a warm bandage on the area where there is pain. This will provide relief from pain and calm Vata.
