Abstract

Chronobiology, the study of biological rhythms, offers profound insights into the temporal organization of physiological processes. Ayurveda, with its emphasis on Dinacharya (daily regimen), provides a holistic framework for harmonizing human activities with natural cycles. This article explores the physiological correlations between chronobiology and Ayurvedic principles, highlighting their synergistic potential for health optimization. Key elements of Dinacharya, such as Brahma Muhurta, Abhyanga, Vyayama, and Ahara, are analysed through the lens of modern chronobiological findings. Integrating these practices with contemporary science can foster a balanced life, aligning biological rhythms with environmental cues for enhanced well-being.
