Trikatu literally means "three pungents," as it contains the herbs ginger, black pepper and pippali. The powerful heating quality of this combination is traditionally used to enkindle the digestive fire and to effectively burn kapha, fat and toxins. Trikatu supports healthy metabolism, allowing nutrients to be properly digested and assimilated, thus aiding in weight management.
