Dosha Gati - #3939

For some time now, I’ve been trying to understand how imbalances in my body manifest into physical and mental symptoms, and I recently came across the concept of Dosha Gati. I understand that Dosha Gati refers to the movement of doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) within the body, but I’m having trouble understanding how it works in real-life health conditions. Does Dosha Gati explain why certain symptoms worsen at specific times of day or in certain seasons? For example, I tend to feel extremely bloated and restless in the evening, but in the morning, I feel heavy and sluggish. Could this be linked to Dosha Gati, and if so, how can I balance these movements? I also read that there are three types of Dosha Gati: Chala (movement away), Sthana (movement in place), and Avarana (blocking the normal flow). Are these movements directly related to the development of diseases or chronic conditions? If a dosha is in an abnormal Gati, how can it be corrected through Ayurveda? Additionally, does understanding Dosha Gati require personalized diagnosis, or are there general principles to follow for managing dosha movements? Should I change my diet, practice yoga, or use specific herbs based on the type of Dosha Gati imbalance I might have? If anyone has experienced treatment or practices focused on Dosha Gati, I’d love to hear your insights. How long did it take to notice improvements, and what advice would you give to someone new to this concept?
