When Vata dosha becomes imbalanced, it can lead to anxiety, racing thoughts, and dry skin. To manage it, the key is to incorporate practices that are grounding, gentle, and nourishing.
Ayurvedic practitioner Molly McConnell suggests starting the day with journaling and meditation to calm the nervous system. To counter Vata's cold and dry nature, she recommends warm beverages and daily oil massages (Abhyanga), especially on the feet. She also highlights the importance of seasonal cleansing to release excess doshas and restore balance.
