In Ayurveda, Vata is one of the three doshas, or constitutional types, that represent the movement of energy in the body. Vata is associated with air and space, and it is believed to govern movement and circulation in the body, as well as the functioning of the nervous and immune systems. An imbalance in Vata can manifest as physical symptoms such as dry skin, constipation, and difficulty sleeping, as well as emotional symptoms such as anxiety and restlessness.
An infusion is a type of herbal preparation in which herbs are steeped in hot water to extract their medicinal properties. In Ayurveda, infusions are often used to support the balance of the doshas, including Vata. Some herbs that may be used in an infusion to support Vata balance include licorice root, ginger, and fennel. It is important to note that herbs should be used under the guidance of a qualified healthcare provider, as they can interact with medications and may not be appropriate for everyone.
