Warming Digestive Herbs

Trikatu is a classic Ayurvedic herbal blend of pippali, ginger, and black pepper. These herbs work in synergy to stimulate the digestive fire, or agni, allowing for more efficient digestion in the stomach while promoting proper bile flow, healthy detoxification and fat metabolism. The gentle heating action of this blend primes the digestive tract to digest food, absorb nutrients and efficiently remove waste.

Digestion is one of the first body functions to suffer in the case of stress and tumultuous emotions, as well as improper self-care, eating on the run, a lack of exercise, and inappropriate or imbalanced diet. You can probably imagine that compromised digestion is not a rare case in the modern world. In fact, according to Ayurveda, most imbalances in the body begin with boggy, sluggish, or otherwise inefficient digestion.

Trikatu is a wonderful tool for getting the digestion back on track, and in the context of a complete digestive reset like the Colorado Cleanse, it can play an instrumental role in stoking the digestive fire that is so needed for optimal health.

Taken 15 minutes before a meal, Trikatu is a wonderful formula to have on hand when eating out, especially for those rich or heavy meals.

It is also a rejuvenative for kapha, supporting healthy lungs and clear breathing.

Cautions: Exercise caution for high pitta, and not to be used by pregnant women.

Mucus Destroyer is formulated to balance and address excess mucus before it becomes a problem while lubricating mucous membranes in the body, supporting their normal, healthy function. Mucus Destroyer combines Sitopladi churna with Turmeric and Trikatu to enhance the formulation and bolster immunity as a whole.*
