Dhruve - #2696
recently came across the term dhruve while researching Ayurveda, but I’m struggling to find detailed information about what it actually means and how it’s used. Is dhruve a specific Ayurvedic practice, an herb, or a principle? I’m really curious because it came up in the context of maintaining balance and stability in life, which is something I feel I really need right now. Here’s some context about why I’m asking. For the past year, my life has felt completely off balance. I’ve been struggling with a lot of anxiety and insomnia, and my energy levels are all over the place. A friend who studies Ayurveda mentioned dhruve to me and said it might help me understand how to bring more grounding into my routine. But honestly, I don’t even know where to start. Does dhruve refer to a particular type of treatment or technique in Ayurveda? For example, is it related to meditation, herbs, or lifestyle adjustments? If it’s something I can incorporate into my daily life, I’d really like to give it a try. But if it’s more advanced or requires specific training, I’m not sure how practical that would be for me right now. Also, does dhruve have anything to do with doshas? I know that balancing Vata, Pitta, and Kapha is a big part of Ayurveda, and I’ve always felt like my Vata is out of control. I’m constantly overthinking, skipping meals, and feeling restless. Could dhruve help with this, or is it meant for a different purpose? Another thing I want to know is whether dhruve is tied to certain seasons or times of day. Ayurveda seems very focused on timing, like eating at specific hours or adjusting routines based on the weather. Does dhruve follow similar guidelines, or can it be used anytime?
