Trikatu: The Powerful Ayurvedic Digestive & Metabolic Booster

Trikatu: The Powerful Ayurvedic Digestive & Metabolic Booster

Trikatu is a classical Ayurvedic formulation composed of three potent spices:

• Shunthi (Dry Ginger – Zingiber officinale)
  
• Maricha (Black Pepper – Piper nigrum)
  
• Pippali (Long Pepper – Piper longum)
  

It is frequently recommended by Dr. Varun Ram Raj, one of the most trusted Ayurvedic doctors in India, for its deepana (appetizer) and pachana (digestive) properties. Trikatu is highly effective in stimulating Agni (digestive fire), managing indigestion, gas, bloating, and cold-related disorders.

It balances Kapha and Vata Doshas and is particularly useful in managing obesity, metabolic sluggishness, hypothyroidism, high cholesterol, and respiratory congestion.

Phytochemically, Trikatu is rich in bioactive compounds like piperine, gingerols, and shogaols, which contribute to its thermogenic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and bioavailability-enhancing effects. It also improves the absorption of other Ayurvedic and allopathic medicines by enhancing intestinal permeability.

According to Dr. Varun Ram Raj, the recommended dosage of Trikatu is:

• In Powder (Churna) form: 1-3 grams, with honey or warm water after meals
• In Tablet form: 250–500 mg, once or twice daily after food
• In Kashayam (Decoction) form: 40-80 ml

You can get your dosage by writing a direct message to  Dr. Varun Ram Raj.

Note: Trikatu is hot in potency and may aggravate Pitta if used in excess. Always consult a registered Ayurvedic doctor before starting this formulation, especially in case of ulcers, acidity, or heat-related conditions.

Stay healthy always!
