Vata is the dosha of air and space — movement, creativity, sensitivity, variability. When balanced, Vata types have fine, lustrous hair and a constitutionally active, responsive nature. When out of balance — through season, stress, or disrupted routine — Vata shows up as dryness: in the skin, the gut, the joints, and the hair. The root cause is almost never the product. It is the underlying depletion — a nervous system running on less than it needs, a season drawing moisture from everything it touches. The ARCIS Vata formula is built around sesame as the warming carrier, mango butter to rebuild the moisture barrier, and ashwagandha and shatavari to address the depletion that chronic Vata dryness runs on.
