Abstract

Dinacharya is a concept from Ayurveda, the traditional system of medicine in India. In Sanskrit term, Dinacharya, translates into daily routine or "daily regimen." It refers to daily routines and practices that are believed to promote overall health and well-being. These routines are designed to align with natural circadian rhythms and include activities such awaking up early, oral care, bowel movement, hygiene practices, exercise, dietary habits, meditation and mindfulness, work and rest and seasonal adaptation. Ayurveda places a strong emphasis on preventive healthcare and maintaining a balance of the body, mind and spirit to promote overall well-being. The main aim of this work is to know how aware is the public? This survey assesses public awareness, revealing that urban populations are more informed about Dinacharya than rural ones. It is important to note that individual variations exist and Ayurveda recognizes the uniqueness of each person's constitution, known as Prakriti, Doshas etc.
