Abstract

Ayurveda, the ancient science of life, emphasizes both physical and mental health with a preventive focus. The primary objective of Ayurveda is " Swasthasya Swasthya Rakshnam, Aaturasya Vikara Prashamanam Cha". A specific time period named Brahma Muhurat that plays a crucial role in recharging the human biological clock and maintaining its rhythm throughout the day. Brahma Muhurta is a first step in Ayurveda, marking the beginning of the Dinacharya, or daily regimen. Numerous Ayurvedic, Astrologic & Aadhyatmic text highlights the physical and mental health benefits of waking up early. However, the physiological mechanisms linking this practice with Modern Medical Science have not been sufficiently explored. This article aims to bridge this gap by explaining the concept of Brahma Muhurta from the perspective of Ayurveda and correlating it with current understanding in Modern Medical Science. The discussion will explore the beneficial impacts on the body and mind, as well as the psychophysiological reasons for these effects as understood by Brahma Muhurta.
