From the Ayurvedic viewpoint, the mind naturally functions in a calm and clear manner. Aggravated Vata can disturb this calmness. Apart from lifestyle, times of day or diet, the seasons also play an important role in balancing the doshas: the energetic, enthusiastic, clear and alert Vata dosha reacts sensitively to certain factors such as cold, windy weather.

This can result in nervousness, low resilience, sorrows, problems falling asleep and irregular appetite.
