Ayurveda, the ancient science of life, emphasizes Dinacharya (daily routine) to bring balance and vitality. By adopting simple morning rituals, you can enhance digestion, improve focus, and boost immunity naturally.

1. Wake Up with Nature

Wake up ideally during Brahma Muhurta (around 4:30–6:00 am).

This time is calm, fresh, and ideal for creativity ,study and meditation.

Tip: Avoid snoozing; step out of bed with a grateful thought.

2. Cleansing the Body

Evacuate bowels at a regular time daily.

Bath with lukewarm water refreshes body & mind.

3. Oral Care (Kavala, Gandusha & Dantadhavana)

Brush teeth with natural herbal based products (like neem, clove, or triphala-based).

Do oil pulling (Gandusha) with sesame oil for oral health, fresher breath, and stronger gums. Tongue cleansing also should be done

4. Eye & Face Care

Splash cold water on eyes.Apply a little pure rose water for freshness.Massage face gently with sesame/coconut oil. Then need to apply Anjana

5. Yoga & Pranayama

Begin with Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutations).Practice light yoga stretches, followed by Pranayama (breathing practices) like Anulom-Vilom & Kapalabhati.

Helps balance body energies (Vata, Pitta, Kapha).

Those who are willing can proceed with Vyayama(exercise) till they sweat but not beyond (it indicates ardha bala according to vagbhata).

6. Meditation & Positive Thoughts

Spend 5–10 minutes in meditation, chanting, or gratitude journaling.

This calms the mind and improves focus throughout the day.

7. Light, Wholesome Breakfast

Opt for a warm, light meal such as vegetable upma, moong dal khichdi, or seasonal fruit with herbal tea.

Avoid heavy, fried, or processed foods in the morning.
