Popis: Ayurveda the ancient Indian medical science has purpose to protect health of the healthy and alleviate dis-orders in the diseased. In ancient texts Acharyas has mentioned so many procedures to prevent and to maintain the health of an individual. To maintain the health Swasthvritta, recommends daily routine (Din-charya), seasonal routine (Ritucharya), eating habits, sleep, codes of good conduct (Sadvritta) etc. Ushap-ana is one of the Ayurvedic Dincharya (day regimen) procedures which play a very important role in pre-ventive Ayurveda. Usha means dawn, Pana means to drink/intake therefore Ushapana (dawn water) means intake of water in early morning. In Ayurveda the root cause of all diseases is “Ama” which can be best understood as the accumulation of toxic metabolic by-products of poor digestion, therefore drinking water in morning can help prevent the disease caused by Ama. So, it is very important to review about the benefits of Ushapana and its role in the prevention of the diseases.
