AYU-CURE

Aligning with the Rhythms of Nature

Dinacharya is the Ayurvedic concept of a daily routine designed to align the body and mind with the cycles of nature. By following a consistent routine, we can maintain doshic balance, improve digestion, boost immunity, and cultivate a sense of peace and well-being.

A Sample Ayurvedic Daily Routine

Wake Before Sunrise (Vata Time): Waking during the Vata time of morning (2 AM - 6 AM) allows you to tap into the light, clear energy of this period.
Cleanse the Senses: Scrape your tongue to remove ama (toxins), brush your teeth, and splash your eyes with cool water. Use a neti pot for nasal cleansing.
Elimination: A healthy morning routine includes a regular bowel movement.
Abhyanga (Self-Massage): Massage your body with warm, dosha-specific oil to nourish the skin and calm the nervous system.
Exercise: Engage in gentle exercise like yoga, walking, or swimming that is appropriate for your constitution.
Bathe: A warm bath or shower after your massage and exercise cleanses the body.
Breakfast: Eat a light, nourishing breakfast to fuel your morning.
Mindful Work (Pitta Time): The period from 10 AM to 2 PM is governed by Pitta. This is the ideal time for focused, productive work.
Lunch (The Main Meal): Eat your largest meal of the day around noon, when digestive fire (Agni) is strongest.
Afternoon (Vata Time): The afternoon Vata time (2 PM - 6 PM) is good for creative tasks and communication.
Dinner (Kapha Time): Eat a light, early dinner before 7 PM to allow for proper digestion before sleep.
Wind Down: Spend the evening in relaxing activities. Avoid screens and stimulating conversations.
Sleep: Be in bed by 10 PM during the Kapha time of night (6 PM - 10 PM) for deep, restorative sleep.

By creating a simple, consistent daily rhythm, you support your body's innate intelligence to heal and thrive.
