Dinacharya — The Ayurvedic Daily Routine
Source: Ashtanga Hridayam, Sutrasthana 2
Dinacharya prescribes a daily routine aligned with circadian rhythm: rise before sunrise (Brahma Muhurta), oral hygiene (tongue scraping, oil pulling), Abhyanga (oil massage), exercise (half capacity), bathing, breakfast, work, lunch (largest meal of day at solar noon), evening rest, light dinner before sunset, sleep by 10pm. Following this single discipline alone improves energy, digestion, and longevity.
