Abstract
Ayurveda is one of the oldest traditional heritages of our country which encloses very deep secrets of positive health and longevity. It is like a reservoir of all the healthy secrets of life which helps in attaining the ultimate goal of Ayurveda. The acharyas or rishis based on their keen observation explore the world of ayurveda and hence provide us with great knowledge in the form of treatises. Nowadays, circadian rhythm or biological clock is gaining very much popularity as it is defined as 24 hour cyclical changes that happen in our body and its clinical significance. But, this same thing is mentioned in our treatises which never gain that much attention. It clearly states the cycle of doshas that keep on changing from time to time and reflects their symptoms on the body. Based on these doshas, acharyas mentioned the day regimens, night regimens, seasonal regimens that help our body to remain fit throughout the life and each and every regimen has its own clinical significance. This article draws attention towards the concepts of the biological clock mentioned in our ancient science and how it is related to modern facts.
