Dinacharya is the Ayurvedic daily routine — a sequence of self-care practices performed from waking to sleeping that align the body with natural circadian rhythms. From tongue scraping and oil pulling to meal timing and evening wind-down, these practices are Ayurveda's primary preventive medicine. The parallel framework in Unani medicine is asbab-e-sitta — the six essentials of healthful living (air, food and drink, motion and rest, sleep and waking, retention and evacuation, mental states) — which carries the same logic of daily regimen as the foundation of health.
