Introduction
In Ayurveda, daily routine (Dinacharya) plays a vital role in maintaining harmony between body, mind, and soul. Following a structured routine in alignment with nature’s cycles promotes health, prevents diseases, and enhances overall well-being. At Swasthyam Ayurved Clinic, we emphasize adopting Ayurvedic rituals to achieve balance and vitality.
Morning Routine: Start Your Day Right
🌞 1. Wake Up Early (Brahma Muhurta)
- Wake up before sunrise (around 4:30 – 6:00 AM) when nature is at its most peaceful.
- This helps align your body with natural rhythms, boosting mental clarity and energy.
🪥 2. Oral & Nasal Hygiene
- Oil Pulling (Gandusha): Swish sesame or coconut oil in your mouth for detoxification.
- Tongue Scraping: Removes toxins and improves digestion.
- Nasya (Nasal Drops): Lubricates nasal passages, enhancing breathing and mental clarity.
🚰 3. Hydration (Ushapana)

🥗 5. Healthy Eating (Ahara Vidhi)
