Tarpaka Kapha - #3900

I’ve been reading more about Ayurveda recently because I’ve been dealing with some mental fog, memory issues, and emotional ups and downs. During my research, I came across the term Tarpaka Kapha and learned that it’s connected to the brain and nervous system. But I’m still not clear on exactly what it means or how it might be affecting me. From what I understand, Tarpaka Kapha is responsible for nourishing and lubricating the mind and the brain. Could an imbalance in Tarpaka Kapha be causing my mental fog and forgetfulness? I feel like I’ve been more distracted than usual, and I often struggle to stay focused on work or conversations. Could this be because my Tarpaka Kapha is too high or too low? Another symptom I’ve noticed is that I’ve been feeling emotionally dull, almost like I’m detached from things that used to make me happy. Could this be related to Tarpaka Kapha, or is that more of a Vata issue? How does Tarpaka Kapha influence emotions and mental clarity? I also deal with sinus congestion frequently, which makes me wonder if it’s connected to Tarpaka Kapha, since Kapha is said to influence fluids and lubrication in the body. Does this mean that excess Tarpaka Kapha could cause both mental and physical issues, like congestion and heaviness in the head? Lastly, I’m trying to figure out how to balance Tarpaka Kapha naturally. Are there specific foods, herbs, or lifestyle changes that help regulate Tarpaka Kapha? I want to improve my mental clarity and emotional health but don’t know where to start. For example, does meditation help balance this Kapha, or is diet more important? If you have experience with managing Tarpaka Kapha imbalances, I’d love to hear how you’ve approached it. Are there signs I should watch for to know if my Tarpaka Kapha is balanced again?
