Description

Ayurvedic texts described the digestive system as a fire whose responsibility was to transform energy into our own life-force. When we overindulge with food, we can dampen that fire, leaving behind smoldering flames in the form of gas, bloating, and occasional heartburn. To this end, Ayurveda guides us to what is now famously called Trikatu, or three pungents. Comprised of Ginger and two species of Pepper fruit, Trikatu primes the stomach and tones the mucosal lining to safely digest food and assist in the assimilation of nutrients.
