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

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

Trikatu is renowned for its Agni-deepana (digestive stimulant) and Ama-pachana (detoxifying) properties. It plays a central role in managing sluggish metabolism, impaired digestion, Kapha disorders, and respiratory imbalances.

The synergy of piperine and gingerol enhances nutrient assimilation, supports liver function, and boosts immunity. Also regarded as a Yogavahi, Trikatu improves the bioavailability of other herbs, making it a key component in many compound formulations.

PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTIONS & MECHANISMS

Digestive Stimulant: Activates Agni, improves nutrient absorption
Carminative: Relieves bloating and flatulence
