TRIKATU

-Ayurvedic Spice Blend-

I learned the ancient Ayurvedic recipe for Trikatu during a trip to India, when, after mentioning my digestive issues, a Master recommended its use.
⠀
Trikatu is, in fact, a very well-known Ayurvedic remedy, extremely helpful for the Vata dosha when it is stressed and has difficulty digesting.
According to various studies, which we link below, Trikatu may have anti-inflammatory, immune-stimulating, and digestive properties.
⠀
It is called Trikatu because it is composed of three spices:
⠀

• ground black pepper
• crushed long pepper
• ginger powder

⠀
which work synergistically to stimulate the digestive fire, or agni, allowing for a more efficient digestion in the stomach, promoting proper bile flow and healthy detoxification.
⠀
❓ How to use Trikatu❓
⠀
Before consuming a meal, sprinkle a teaspoon of this blend on the dish and enjoy it with gratitude.
⠀
Trikatu is not recommended in cases of gastritis and intestinal issues, so always consult your doctor if you are unsure about taking it without problems.
