Dinacharya (Sanskrit: दिनचर्या "daily-routine")[1] is a concept in Ayurvedic medicine which proposes the healthy routine to be followed in a day and night. Ayurveda contends that routines help establish balance and that understanding daily cycles is useful for promoting health.[2] Dinacharya says that each day, two cycles of change occur, that correlate with the Ayurvedic concept of dosha. Routines covered by dinacharya include: waking time, elimination, hygiene, massage, exercise, bathing, meditation and prayer, meals, study, work, relaxation and sleeping.[3]
