In this episode, Dr. Vignesh Devraj explores the often-overlooked but deeply important topic of identifying vata imbalances using modern tools and Ayurvedic insights. Unlike pitta and kapha, vata is subtle, formless, and harder to diagnose through conventional means.

Dr. Vignesh offers a practical and scientific lens to understand how deficiencies often signal a vata imbalance. From vitamin and hormone levels to HRV and VO2 Max, this episode is a deep dive into recognizing and balancing this elusive dosha using both ancient wisdom and modern technology.

BALANCE THE MIGHTY VATA - ONLINE COURSE NOW AVAILABLE

What makes Ayurveda unique in its treatment approach is its practical wisdom on the concept of Vata. Vata is responsible for Prana - the life energy, nervous system - the master panel of our body, and our emotions. In Ayurveda, it is mentioned that controlling Vata is the most difficult part of healing and recovery.

Recently, I have recorded a workshop on - Balancing The Mighty Vata which has over 6 hrs of content, with notes filled with practical inputs that can be integrated into our life.
