Ayurveda isn’t just a system of medicine—it’s a way of life.

🌅 1. Wake Up During Brahma Muhurta (Before Sunrise)

Brahma Muhurta (approximately 4:30 AM – 6:00 AM) is considered the most sattvic (pure) time of day. Waking up during this period enhances mental clarity, spiritual energy, and creativity.

Benefits:

• Aligns your body clock with nature
• Boosts mental calmness and focus
• Enhances spiritual connection and productivity

🪥 2. Oral Care the Ayurvedic Way

Avoid chemical-based toothpaste and adopt natural alternatives like neem twigs or herbal tooth powder (manjan). Scrape your tongue with a copper or stainless steel scraper.

Why this matters:

• Removes ama (toxins)
• Promotes digestion
• Prevents bad breath and oral infections

🚽 3. Hydration & Elimination

Upon waking, drink a glass of warm water – optionally infused with lemon, ghee, or ajwain. It stimulates digestion and supports morning bowel movements.

Pro Tip: Train your body to eliminate wastes first thing in the morning to avoid toxin buildup.

🦼 4. Abhyanga (Self Oil Massage)

Daily Abhyanga with warm oil (like sesame or herbal Panchagavya oil) rejuvenates your body and calms your nervous system.Benefits:

• Nourishes tissues and joints
• Improves blood circulation
• Reduces stress and anxiety

🌧️ 5. Ayurvedic Bathing Ritual

Bathe using lukewarm water. Avoid very cold or hot water, especially on the head. Use natural soaps, ubtan (herbal paste), or Panchagavya powders.

Spiritual Tip: Bathing purifies both the body and mind. Light a diya before or after your bath to connect with higher energies.

🍽️ 6. Balanced Meals with Timing

🌛 9. Light Dinner & Early Sleep

Poor sleep disrupts:

• Hormonal balance

• Emotional stability

🛌 10. Disconnect & Rejuvenate
