    Ayurveda views the human body as being influenced by circadian rhythms like the natural cycles of day and night and seasonal changes. The doshas, agni, and sharira bala in the body have their own cyclical variations according to factors like age, time of day, and food intake. Ayurveda recommends following practices like dinacharya (daily routine), ritucharya (seasonal routines), and sadvritta (good conduct) to maintain healthy dosha rhythms and proper alignment of one's biological clock. This helps maximize health, immunity, and mental well-being. Deviations from these natural rhythms can lead to illness.

    AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE OF CIRCADIAN RHYTHM AND HEALTH

    W.S.R TO SWASTHA CHATUSKA


    As per Loka Purusha Samya Siddhanta

    ‘Man is a tiny replica of the Universe’ and so all the changes in the environment affects human
    beings, since everything is derived from Panchamahabhutas.

    In Ayurveda, the cyclical variations are based on the rhythm of Tridoshas, Agni, Sharira Bala
    etc. with respect to age, time of the day, seasonal changes, food intake etc.
    Biological rhythms are the natural cyclical
    changes in our body, in which researches
    mainly focuses on circadian rhythms. Body
    processes vary according to adaptation of
    solar and lunar related rhythm. Ayurveda
    explains this on the basis of cyclic rhythm
    of Tridoshas. The Doshas Kapha, Pitta and
    Vata maintain the integrity of our body,
    like Soma, Surya & Anila maintaining the
    integrity of the terrestrial world.

    We can maximize our health, mental


    alertness and immunity by proper
    alignment of circadian rhythm by following
    methods like Dinacharya, Ritucharya,
    proper Ahara and Nidra, Ritusodhanas etc.
    Factors influencing Circadian Rhythm Dinacharya,
    Ritucharya, Sadvrutta, rules for Ahara and Nidra etc
    mentioned in Ayurvedic classics aim to maintain
    normalcy of Doshic rhythms.

    Dinacharya

    Nature moves in cycles day to night and winter to


    spring. The movement of Sun is responsible for this
    diurnal and seasonal variations. As the human beings
    are a miniature forms of Universe, they should follow
    these changes by adjusting their routines to keep
    themselves healthy. Dinacharya includes all the daily
    activities starting from waking up at Brahmamuhurtha
    to sleep, to keep a balance of daily rhythm of Doshas
    and thereby regularizes a person’s biological clock,
    aids digestion, absorption and assimilation, and
    generates self-esteem, discipline, peace, happiness,
    and longevity.
    Ayurveda has described Dinacharya, Ritucharya, Sadvritta, Ahara Vidhis etc. to balance the rhythmic fluctuations of Doshas in
    a normal state. Deviation from this normal rhythm leads to various physical and mental illnesses. Proper alignment of this
    rhythm is essential for the maintenance of health.
    Ritucharya

    The seasonal changes are very evident in the environment which affects rhythm of tridosha also, and it is manifested as Sanchaya
    (Stage of Accumulation), Prakopa (Stage of Aggravation) and Prasama (Stage of suppression of vitiated Doshas) . This can lead to
    an internal imbalance, which in turn leads to various physical and mental disorders. Ritucharya (seasonal regimen) are various
    rules regarding diet and lifestyle to acclimatize the changes happening in nature as per different seasons, without altering the
    body homeostasis. Researches proved that, failure of the circadian cycles to properly adapt to the change in the length of the day
    as the seasons progress, results in mood disorders SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorders).
    Sadvritta

    The word Sadvritta means good behavior or habits which help in maintaining a healthy body, mind, sensory perceptions and soul.
    By following these codes of conducts, social, emotional, psychological, personal, spiritual and ethical aspects of life can be
    maintained. For an illustration, a) Vyavaharika Sadvritta includes, speaking truth always, not getting addicted to sensory
    pleasures, etc. b) SamajikaSadvritta includes Speaking softly, Speaking politely with teachers, elderly, intelligent people, etc. c)
    Manasika Sadvritta - understand the real divine, One should not live under continued grief, One should always be confident etc.
    d) Dharmika Sadvritta includes, worshiping gods, cows, Brahmins, elderly people and teachers, honouring fire, etc. e) Sharirika
    Sadvritta includes Application of oil to head, ear, nose and feet, Cutting nails and hair thrice a fortnight etc. In Charaka Samhita
    Chikitsasthana Rasayanadhyaya, Aachara Rasayana has been explained which includes the mental hygiene to be followed to lead
    an ideal ethical way of living. It includes truth, nonviolence, personal and public cleanliness, mental and personal hygiene,
    devotion, compassion, and a yogic lifestyle.[
