Ayurveda is an ancient medical science originated in India and has lot to tell about managing our health and being fit in life. Another concept is Dinacharya, which means daily hygiene schedule that serves as a guideline on how to synchronise the human organism with natural cycles. Lifestyle management through Ayurveda offers the opportunity to improve one’s Personal Daily Routine. In this blog I will be describing an easily-followed process of how to incorporate Ayurvedic daily practice into a person’s life.

The Importance of Dinacharya

Collectively, Ayurveda also aims at having elderly people’s routines and schedules in harmony with particular natural cycles. Dinacharya maintains the rhythm of the body, sharpens the brain faculties, and keeps the passions under control. It is designed to cleanse the body of toxins, prevent disease, and maintain balance among the body’s doshas: Hypothetically, the three energies are Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.

Steps on How to Create an Ayurvedic Daily Schedule

1.  Wake Up Early

Timing: In the morning specifically, it is preferred that it is done before sunrise that is from 5 am – 6 am.

Performing a routine during the morning parts the human body with a natural body clock. This time is regarded as untainted, void and appropriate for meditating or reflecting on one’s conscience.

2.  Oral Hygiene

Tongue Scraping: Scrape the tongue with a scraper in order to dislodge toxins and bacteria that accumulate there and worsen digestion and breath. Oil Pulling: Chew a tablespoon of sesame or coconut oil in the mouth for 10-15 mins to help to detoxify teeth as well as gums. Brushing: Clean your teeth with natural toothpaste to finish up the dental care.

3. Hydrate

Drink Warm Water: Start your day by drinking a glass of warm water. This helps flush out toxins and stimulates digestion.

4. Elimination

Regular Bowel Movements: According to ayurveda, daily regular bowel movements is part of the ayurvedic routine. Warm water and certain kinds of activities involving the muscles can also facilitate movement of bowels.

5.  Self-Massage (Abhyanga)

Oil Massage: Massage the body with warm sesame or coconut oil, start it from your hands going up to the head. Abhyanga strengthens and softens the skin, the oil improves blood circulation and brings relaxation to the nervous system. Rub the oil from your head to toe where the circular movements should be performed on the joints while the long strokes on the limbs.

6.  Bathing

Warm Shower: Bath the body using warm water to wash – rinse off the skin after the massage to eliminate any remainder of the oil. This helps in rejuvenating the body and the brain gets a break or a booster from being overworked.

Stress and arthritis are also reduced because yoga enhances the flexibility, balance and sharpness of one’s mind.
