AYURVEDIC
LIFESTYLE TIPS

2. Ayurveda for daily life:
● The key to good health and feeling great all day
is by living in tune with nature’s cycle. Literally,
it means rising with the sun and setting with it.
● For aligning properly with nature’s cycle one has
to follow their Dincharya that is a collection of
daytime and nighttime practices.
● Also, each season alters the nature’s cycles in
different ways hence Ritucharya is also to be
infused with the Dincharya and changes has to
be made accordingly.

3. Dincharya
● Dincharya is daily life routine which is a
combination of morning time and nighttime
practices.
● Morning time practices mainly include waking
up early before sunrise, cleansing and
nourishing the body. The motive is to prepare
the body for the day.
● Nighttime practices include setting down with
the sun i.e dimming the light and calming your
body for sleep to get yourself prepared for the
other day with full energy and enthusiasm.

4. Ritucharya
● According to Ayurveda, seasonal and climatic
changes affect the body and the Dincharya,
significantly affecting the physical and mental
health. Temperature, wind, rain, daylight hours
affect the body’s natural cycle and essential
organs.
● Ritu means season and Charya means lifestyle
and hence Ritucharya is a seasonal routine to
devise a lifestyle according to the changes in
nature to maintain diet and health by
maintaining proper digestion, immunity, sleep,
and energy.

5. 5 Important Ayurvedic lifestyle tips :

● According to Ayurveda pre dawn is dominated
by Vata Dosha an energy that makes it easier to
get out of bed.
● On the other hand, the time after sunrise is
dominated by Kapha Dosha (Earthy energy) that
makes it difficult to leave the bed and people feel
sluggish and tired all day around.
● Hence the pre dawn time is best to leave your
bed and get some fresh air and perform
meditation. It is considered an auspicious time in
Ayurveda to get the new day starting with full
energy and enthusiasm.

with lemon juice mixed in it to get the digestive
fire burning and to start detoxification and waste
elimination.

advised to be taken during mid-day as it is the
Pitta hours and there is enough time for the
body to digest the meal.
● The evening time belongs to Kapha Dosha and it
is believed to slow down the body hence the
evening meal should be lighter and easily
digestible.

8. 3.Cleansing and Massaging
● Cleansing of the body is done both internally and
externally by removing ama(toxins), pollens and
pathogens from the body that gets accumulated

warm essential oils at regular intervals to deeply
