HELLO,
You area mother of a young child, sleeping late and likely missing rest. This disturbs your body’s vata dosha, which governs movement, flexibility, dryness, ad the nervous system
When vata becomes aggravated it causes -dryness in skin and joints -cracking sounds (tak-tak) due to dryness in the joints (lack of lubrication of sheshak kapha) -pain or stiffness (due to vata obstructing smooth movement of joints) -tremors or shaking hands (when vata affects the nerves and muscles) -itching and dry skin (as dryness reduces natural oil and increases sensitivity)
