NATURE'S MEDICINE : AYURVEDA
VATA

Vata people, those in whom the biological air-humor predominates, are said to be unusually tall or short, thin, bony, with prominent veins, and generally poor tissue development. Their complexion may be dull or lacking in lustre, with possible brown or dark discolorations, with dry or cracked skin. 

They possess variable appetites, tend towards constipation or hard stool, have scanty sweat or urination, are intolerant of cold and wind and though they have immediate energy have low endurance and stamina. 

Vata types are nervous, restless, hyperactive, excitable and may suffer from insomnia or difficult sleeping. They are changeable, curious and adaptable, with sensitive and quick minds and reflexes, are often talkative and can be absent minded. They tend towards insecurity, fear and anxiety when emotionally out of balance, can be easily disturbed and are prone to worry.
