Clear Quality
The clear quality among the twenty gunas, associated with clarity, understanding, communication, and cleansing
Clear Quality (Vishada)
Vishada (clear) is one of the 20 universal attributes and the opposite of avila (cloudy). The clear quality increases vata and pitta while decreasing kapha.
Vishada pacifies kapha but in excess creates isolation and diversion. An excess of clear quality can manifest from too much cleansing, such as excessive enemas or purgatives, which increases both vata and pitta.
