When in balance Vatas are lean with excellent agility and always on the go! Movement and change are characteristic of their nature and they enjoy excitement and new experiences. They are quick in their responses - quick to anger and quick to forget.
Out of balance Vata causes a sensitive and irregular digestion, light or interrupted sleep and sensitivity to stress, fear, anxiety and worry. Imbalance leads to weight loss, constipation, hypertension, arthritis, fatigue and weakness, restlessness and digestive disturbances.
When feeling overwhelmed or stressed, their response is "What did I do wrong?"
