Abstract

Dinacharya are the activities which are done in a day. Similarly, Ratricharya are the activities done in the night. These regimens are described in sequences. There are separate sets of activities and guidelines to be followed during each season, collectively termed as Ritucharya. There are six seasons as per Ayurveda viz. Shishira, Vasanta, Greeshma, Varsha, Sharad and Hemanta. Although daily regimens have been advised for individuals, they might not be always applied for all the seasons. One needs to modify or alter certain activities in each season. Hence, this study is an effort that has been made to opt for following the sequence of Dinacharya in Greeshma Ritu based on Ayurvedic texts advocated for healthy individuals.
