After waking up in the morning, one should observe whether the food taken on the previous night has been properly digested. According to Ayurveda, it is essential to evacuate bowels after awakening. Timely evacuation of urine and stools helps in maintaining normal physiological functions and prevents accumulation of toxins (Ama).
Improper bowel evacuation or suppression of natural urges (Vegadharana) may lead to several disorders such as abdominal colic pain, cutting pain in the anal region, retention of feces and flatus, distension of abdomen, and disturbance of Apana Vata. Hence, attending nature’s call at the appropriate time is an important component of Dinacharya.
