In this integrative video presentation, Ayurveda Practitioner Neerja Ahuja explains how a seemingly unrelated cluster of symptoms, such as anxiety, insomnia, dry skin, and bloating, can be seen through Ayurveda as interconnected indicators of a Vata dosha imbalance.
Rather than treating each symptom separately, Ayurveda supports the nervous system and digestive health holistically, using tailored food choices, daily routines, and calming mind-body practices.
Drawing on ancient principles of elemental balance and modern lifestyle needs, this video offers a practical introduction to Vata and how its aggravation can manifest both physically and emotionally. This approach aligns with preventive, whole-person care and can be used as a complementary perspective in patient wellness plans.
