Start the day in rhythm with the sun.
Morning Wellness
Ayurveda calls dawn the sattvic window — the clearest, most receptive hour of the day. These small acts set the tone for everything that follows.
Warm Water on Waking (Ushapan)
A simple, ancient cue that wakes digestion and gently flushes the system.
Who should avoid / take care
- Skip if you have severe acid reflux that worsens with fluids on an empty stomach
- Avoid copper-stored water if you have Wilson's disease or copper sensitivity
- Do not gulp — sip slowly while seated
Tongue Scraping
Remove the overnight coating in 30 seconds — taste, breath and digestion improve.
Who should avoid / take care
- Do not scrape so hard that you bleed or feel pain
- Replace metal scrapers if they become bent or rough
Safety for every routine
These cautions stay public even when the deeper routine is for Premium members.
Oil Pulling (Gandusha)
- Never swallow the oil — it contains the bacteria you just pulled out
- Stop if you feel jaw tension; start with 3–4 minutes and build up
- Avoid if you have an oil allergy or are nil-by-mouth for medical reasons
Morning Sunlight
- Never stare directly at the sun
- If outdoor air quality is poor, sit by an open window facing east instead
- Photosensitive medication — check with your doctor
Gentle Stretching
- Avoid deep backbends or twists if you have acute disc issues
- Pregnant women should skip deep forward folds in the second and third trimesters
Soaked Nuts & Seeds
- Tree nut allergy
- If kidney stones are a concern, limit oxalate-rich nuts
