Abstract

Dinacharya and Rutucharya, key concepts in Ayurveda, play a vital role in mental health management by fostering harmony between individuals and their daily and seasonal environments. Dinacharya, or daily routine, emphasizes structured practices such as regular sleep, balanced nutrition, physical activity, and mindfulness techniques like meditation and yoga. These elements create stability, reduce anxiety, and enhance emotional regulation, promoting resilience against mental health challenges. Rutucharya, on the other hand, focuses on adjusting lifestyle choices to align with seasonal changes. Each season impacts mood and energy levels, and adapting routines accordingly can improve mental health. By incorporating seasonal dietary adjustments and activities that resonate with nature, individuals can bolster their physical and psychological resilience, helping to mitigate seasonal mood disorders.Together, Dinacharya and Rutucharya promote a holistic approach to mental health, highlighting the significance of self-care, mindfulness, and adaptability. This integration supports emotional balance and nurtures a deeper connection with oneself. This paper will explore the synergistic benefits of these practices in mental health, showcasing their potential to enhance overall well-being.
