The Vata passes from the Majja Dhatu to the Mano Vaha Srotas, thereby causing disorders such as paranoia, memory loss, and delusions. In Ayurveda, Alzheimer’s can result from three main factors. The factors include;

1.    Dosha imbalance

The mind is described to be in one of the following 3 states:

1.    Sattva

2.    Rajas

A sattvic mind has the best memory and is alert, enthusiastic, courageous, stable, and intelligent. On the other hand, Rajas describes a mental state dominated by attachments and is characterized by anger, passion, greediness, constant action, excessive work, and anxiety.
