Rūkṣatā (रूक्षता, “dryness”) refers to one of the attributes of vāta (one of the three biological humors, or tridoṣa). Rūkṣatā is characterised by emaciation and stunted growth, poor development of bodily tissues and lack of sleep. Vāta represents the “airy element” of the human body and is situated in the basti (pelvic region). It is also known as Vāyu.
