Dinacharya is the unique concept elaborated in Ayurveda under the section of preventive healthcare. Even before 2000 years ago, ancient Ayurveda scholars had recognized the significance of following a specific daily regimen in order to preserve the good health. It is believed that, ‘Kala’ (time) is always changing and it is that causative factor of disease which is beyond the control of Purusha. Changing times of the day also affect the internal environment of the human body. The physiological levels of Doshas, which are considered as the controlling forces of various functions of the body, is disturbed even because of the minute changes in the external environment one needs to bring the equilibrium of their natural back in order to maintain the normal functioning of the life (union of body, mind and life energy). Thus, one should follow the specific regimen daily to restore the balance of doshas which are disturbed due to the day and night cycle. This regimen should be followed on the daily basis. Therefore, Ayurveda acharyas have put forward the list of activities which should be the part of one’s daily regime. These activities have been described in detail under the topic of Dinacharya in Ayurveda scriptures.
