Ayurveda assesses metabolic imbalances through 20 main biocharacteristics
(gunas).
Aggravating them weakens your body and causes imbalance.
By knowing which biocharacteristics are habitually imbalanced in your body, you will be able to identify and correct metabolic imbalances before you get sick.
Every biocharacteristic has an opposite which balances it (i.e. hot balances cold).
You restore balance by favoring diet and lifestyle choices that increase the opposite biocharacteristic.
HOT ABOUT HOT BIOCHARACTERISTICHot is identified by increased body temperature, metabolism, or inflammation.OILY ABOUT OILY BIOCHARACTERISTICIn Ayurveda, oily refers to anything moistening. More specifically, oily refers to building substances that increases fat, or are themselves fatty. For example, sugar is Oily.DOSHASThe Three Doshas / Body Types
Ayurveda is a metabolic theory of medicine that explains individual health, tendencies, and disease patterns through the concept of doshas, which can be understood as your metabolic patterns and tendencies.
Each dosha reflects a distinct metabolic nature and describes strengths & weaknesses in bodily function, and how these affect energy levels, digestion, susceptibility to disease, and many other tendencies. Your metabolic nature not only affects your physical characteristics, but also influences your mental thought patterns, confidence, and enthusiasm. Ayurveda balances these metabolic strengths & weaknesses to support your body's vitality and prevent recurrent disease cycles. This support is a critical aid, especially in chronic or incurable disease conditions. The 3 metabolic body types (doshas), are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha). Through dosha, Ayurveda empowers people to identify metabolic imbalances early, break repetitive patterns of disease, and cultivate habits that support long-term vitality and well-being. Ultimately, these metabolic patterns also provide a framework for understanding yourself, including body, mind, and spiritual tendencies.

The Vata oil is wonderful. it smells and feels very good, and I think my skin is becoming healthier.
This Vata oil is great...very warming while doing self-massage after showers. Smells great and makes my skin look and feel healthy.
The bottle had leaked in the box, not a whole lot t enough to make a mess. Also every day I after using it I have to wipe down the bottle so there's not a big ring of oil on the counter. The oil itself smells great and feels great. I massage it in every day and it has helped my calf cramps and made my skin smoother.I would like to know if it can be used for oil pulling?
You could use this product for oil pulling. We generally recommend plain, untoasted sesame oil.
Can you tell me how many ounces are in the bottle of Vata Massage oil? Thank you...Jeanne
We sell several different sizes. This one is 17oz. We also have 8oz and 64oz.
I apply this oil warmed to my whole body with gentle massage and focus on my feet, ankles, hands and wrists. I suffer from tendinitis and osteoarthritis. I then take a very warm bath. After bathing I use a dry rub towel to invigorate blood flow, and then rest under a warm comforter. I am feeling great improvement in my neuralgia after 2 weeks! Thank you!
I have enjoyed using the oil, taking time to massage all over, then sitting in a warm bath, or shower has defiantly helped me relax and wind down at the end of a stressful day.
I am in love! I used this for the 1st time this morning after receiving this and I am 1/2 through my day I feel completely different. I have performed abhyangha many times using the oil from other companies and wow this one had an immediate effect.I understand know the importance with my vata constitution! Thank you!!!!!! I will be purchasing the largest bottle to always have on hand.
I am feeling a real comfort using this Vata Oil (late summer/fall). I absolutely love the aroma, it smells amazing to me. amazing. My skin seems to devour the oil. I am happy with my purchase and would purchase again.
