Why Am I Forgetting Things Easily? - #48365

Hello

In Ayurveda, frequent forgetfulness is commonly linked with:

Vata aggravation (unstable mind, weak focus)

Pitta imbalance (heat/toxins affecting brain)

Rajas–Tamas increase (mental dullness)

Ama (toxins) due to gutka + junk food

👉 Gutka (tobacco + chemicals + lime) directly increases Pitta & Vata, reduces Ojas, and weakens Medha (intelligence/memory).
