Air & Ether
You are light, dry, mobile, always cold, a fast thinker.
Your predominant emotion is worry, fear, anxiety.
You look for warmth in love, friendships and within.
You are a creative spirit.
Your skin is dehydrated, dry, sun damaged, prematurely aged due to stress.
Antidote:
Avoid stress, dry foods, dry people, over actively and lack of rest.
Bring warmth and gentleness. Give yourself permission to experience and share creative expression.
Cleansing with oils based on the Vata body Type
Vata body types have dry, rough skin that can get cold and easily fatigued. Massage warmed sesame seed-based oils. Add lavender, eucalyptus, and sweet fennel essential oils to balance excess Vata symptoms. Leave yourself soothed, calm, and relaxed. The warming of muscles will make it easier to stretch and release pain.
