Usually ready in 24 hoursTrikatu is a mixture of powdered Ginger (Zingiber officinale), Black Pepper (Piper nigrum) and Long Pepper (Piper longum). In Sanskrit Trikatu is a word combination of 'tri' meaning three and 'katu' meaning hot and pungent in nature. Being hot in potency is stimulating for the digestive fire (Agni) and helps with absorption of food. These qualities have a pacifying effect on Kapha and Vata.
Trikatu encourages the stomach to produce digestive enzymes needed to break down food into micro nutrients and enhances absorption. It helps to reduce bloating and abdominal distension, burns extra body fat and as a result helps to lower cholesterol levels.
By pacifying elevated Kapha it also melts down mucus and helps with respiratory conditions such as colds, coughs, sneezing and inflammation.

Dosage: Adults take 1 teaspoon with a small amount of warm water twice daily 15 minutes before meal on an empty stomach preferably morning and evening.

MORE HEALTH BENEFITS
Metabolism Boost & Weight Management
Trikatu is especially effective in speeding up metabolism. The combination of Pippali (Long Pepper), Black Pepper, and Ginger works synergistically to ignite the body’s metabolic fire, promoting the efficient breakdown of food and the conversion of fat into energy. This thermogenic effect helps to increase the body's calorie-burning capacity, making it an excellent support for those aiming to manage their weight or improve overall energy levels. By enhancing metabolic rate, Trikatu aids in the proper digestion and assimilation of nutrients, allowing the body to function more efficiently.
Kapha Imbalance & Digestion
In Ayurveda, an imbalance in Kapha dosha (the element of water and earth) often leads to sluggish digestion, excessive accumulation of mucus, and weight gain. Trikatu helps to reduce Kapha imbalances by stimulating Agni (digestive fire) and improving the flow of energy in the body. The warming and pungent properties of the ingredients help to balance excess Kapha, preventing the stagnation of fluids and promoting the elimination of toxins and excess mucus from the body. This makes Trikatu particularly effective for those with conditions such as sinus congestion, lethargy, and weight retention due to Kapha imbalance.
Detoxification Support in Panchakarma
Trikatu plays a key role in supporting the detoxification process, particularly in Ayurvedic detox therapies like Panchakarma. Panchakarma is a series of cleansing treatments designed to remove accumulated toxins (Ama) and restore balance to the body. Trikatu helps to enhance the body’s ability to expel these toxins by stimulating digestion, improving circulation, and promoting the elimination of waste through sweat and urine. Its natural detoxifying effects help clear blockages in the digestive system and cleanse the lymphatic system, which is crucial during a Panchakarma regimen. By improving Agni, Trikatu assists in breaking down toxins and facilitating their safe removal, making it an invaluable herb in any detox protocol.
Trikatu, therefore, serves as a holistic aid in enhancing metabolic function, supporting weight management, balancing Kapha, and facilitating deep detoxification during Ayurvedic cleansing therapies. It harmonizes the body’s natural processes and promotes overall vitality and well-being.
Certified Organic

While clarifying the hygienic conditions under which the products were manufactured and the strict protocols that were followed while preparing the authentic Ayurvedic recipes, the certificate also ensures the quality in packaging methods, storage of raw materials and finished goods to prevent mixing with conventions that might also be used.

FAQs
Please contact us if you have questions that are not covered here.
What is Ayurveda?
Since 2010 we have brought the ancient Indian medical system of Ayurvedic health to New Zealand.
“Ayur” means life and “veda” means knowledge or science hence Ayurveda is often translated to mean the “Knowledge of Life”. Although Ayurveda has a history of over 5000 years, its principles are still equally applicable in modern New Zealand lifestyles.
At Ayurveda NZ we look to understand the root cause of an imbalance in order to correct the underlying condition or disease, rather than only treating the symptoms. Focused on maintaining mental and physical health from a holistic perspective, Ayurveda is also an excellent form of preventative medicine and rejuvenation.
The wisdom of Ayurveda encourages individuals to actively participate in maintaining their own good health in alignment with the different stages of their lives, the seasons, and the environment they live in.
At Ayurveda NZ we acknowledge the unique nature of each person and apply dietary, lifestyle, body therapies, and herbal remedies to assist in transformational processes.
Who makes the Sattva Botanicals range?
We do! Our organic ingredients are sourced ethically and blended by our team here in New Zealand to create the Sattva Botanicals products. This is why we can create a custom blend if you need one.
What is a Dosha and why does it matter?
Ayurveda acknowledges the unique nature of each person through individual constitutions (Doshas) and applies dietary and lifestyle adjustments, body therapies, and herbal remedies to assist in this transformational process.
You can find out more about Doshas here, and take the quiz to find your Dosha - or book an Ayurvedic Consultation and be guided through the process with Sarita.
What are the benefits of booking an Ayurvedic Consultation?
Having a one on one Ayurvedic Consult with Sarita means that we can talk about your concerns, identify your Dosha and recommend the treatments and botanicals best suited to you.
How do I book an Ayurvedic treatment?
You can either book a time using our booking app, or if you want to pay now but secure a time later by phone or email, just buy a Gift Voucher for yourself.
Why is my eating style relevant to Ayurveda?
At Ayurveda New Zealand we work with Ayurvedic Medicine, which recognises many causes of disease but stresses the root cause of most chronic conditions arise from imbalances in, or poor functioning of, the digestive system.
Undigested food and improper elimination of wastes accumulate as toxins in the body leading to dysfunctions. This is further compounded by unresolved emotional experiences and stress.
Whether a person is chronically ill or seeking a way to maintain good health Ayurveda has an important role to play.
According to Ayurveda, digestion is a subtle process that transforms food into consciousness.
Can I get a personalised Yoga Programme too?
Absolutely. We love yoga and Sarita can create a bespoke yoga therapy programme to suit you specifically.
