According to Ayurveda, winter is ruled by ethereal vata dosha. Vata’s qualities are cold, light, dry, mobile, rough, and hard—basically
all the qualities you can experiences on a winter day. In order to counteract the inevitable forces of vata,
we seek to balance with opposites. Treat dry with moist, and balance cold with warmth.
