Vata: The Ayurvedic Concept of Doshas.

These are considered fundamental to various physical and physiological functions in the body.

Balancing the Five Vata Sub-Doshas

Within the Ayurvedic system, there are five sub-types of Vata. These are Prana, Udana, Samana, Vyana, and Apana. Each of these subtypes is linked to specific bodily functions. In the traditional Abhyangam practice, different massage techniques are applied to various parts of the body.

Prana Vata

Prana Vata is connected to breathing, awareness of sensations, and mental processes.
A gentle massage of the head and face can aid in calming the mind.

Udana Vata

Udana Vata is linked to speech, expression, vitality, and upward movement.
Light massage techniques on the neck and upper chest can be included in an Ayurvedic massage session, when suitable.

 

Samana Vata

Samana Vata is related to digestion and the absorption of nutrients.
A gentle circular massage on the abdomen can be part of the massage technique used.

Vyana Vata

Vyana Vata is associated with circulation and movement throughout the body.
