The doshic excuse for why you're cold, anxious, and can't stop talking.

means In Ayurveda, vata is the bodily energy linked to air and space, governing movement, breath, and the nervous system.

from From Sanskrit vāta, meaning 'wind' or 'air,' rooted in the verb vā- 'to blow.' It's a cousin of the same ancient root that gives English 'wind' and 'weather' through the deep Indo-European family tree — language itself, apparently, has always needed a word for restless air.
