Article-8
Dinacharya ( dina – day & acharya – behaviour) "daily-routine" is a concept in Ayurvedic medicine that looks at the
cycles of nature and bases daily activities around these cycles.
Ayurveda contends that routines help establish balance and that understanding daily cycles are useful for promoting health.
Dinacharya says that each day two cycles of change occur, that correlate with the Ayurvedic concept of dosha.
Routines covered by dinacharya include: waking time, elimination, hygiene, massage, exercise, bathing, meditation and prayer,
meals, study, work, relaxation and sleeping.
In order to keep the Tridoshas in a state of healthy equlibrium Ayurveda prescribes for each individual
a specific daily routine (Dinacharya).
The various stages to this daily routine, influenced by one's own prakriti.
★ Since our biological clocks are attuned to the rising and setting of the sun,
it is obviously better to awake at sunrise in perfect synchronisation to the natural clock.
★ Defecation once or twice daily is the best. Preferably not immediately after a meal.
Suppression of natural physical urges such as elimination, hunger, thirst, sleep, sneezing, yawning, vomiting, flatus and ejaculation
may lead to discomfort even disease.
★Thorough washing of the limbs, face, mouth, eyes & nose purifies the bodies sense organs.
Best done with a bath in clean water, it should accompany brushing of the teeth,scraping off coating from the tongue
and to keep hair trimmed, nails filed and wear clean clothes & to use perfumes.
★Either passive like massage (a regular massage with herbal oils) or active like aerobics or both as in yoga postures.

Brings Control of desire or mental hunger which is the key to longevity and immortality.
★Clothes should always be clean ,light & airy, and made of natural fibres as cotton, wool, linen or silk.
★Success or failure in profession affects self-confidence, self-worth,
it is important that the nature of work should match well with your prakriti.
The ideal jobs must have enough excitement to hold their interest and sufficient routine to avoid imbalances.
They should ideally have sufficient challenge to keep them occupied without the stress of severe competition.
★In choosing the right partner Ayurveda suggests that like types make
better mates because of similar mental processes, attitudes and sexual proclivities.
