Wake up in the morning, toilet, dental (cleaning of teeth with neem or herbal paste) and tongue (cleaning of the tongue) removes the impurities in the body.
Use of Anjan and Triphala water for the protection of the eyes and nose karma (pouring medicinal oil in the nose) is considered good for respiratory and eye health. Similarly, the use of smell, sun and herbal smoke purifies both the atmosphere and the mind.
Abhyang means oil massage daily strengthens the body, soft the skin and strengthens bones. After this, light exercise, yoga and pranayama bring energy to the body. Bathing with lukewarm water provides physical and mental freshness.
