Essential Ayurvedic Daily Routine (Dinacharya) for Modern Life

Begin your day with oil pulling (Gandusha) using sesame oil to promote oral hygiene and invigorate the mouth.

Practice gentle self-massage (Abhyanga) with warm herbal oil before bathing to nourish the skin, calm the mind, and support circulation.

After waking, drink a glass of warm water to stimulate digestion (Agni) and aid natural detoxification.

Follow a regular sleep and wake schedule, rising preferably before sunrise (Brahma Muhurta), to align your body’s rhythms with nature.

Incorporate tongue scraping (Jihva Nirlekhana) using a copper or silver scraper after brushing teeth to remove Ama (toxins) and enhance taste perception.
