Trikatu with Clove Powder (MA99) 30g | for low appetite & after heavy meals

Use when appetite is low and after a heavy meal

Digestion is one of the first thing to suffer in the case of stress and tumultuous emotions. It also weakened by improper self-care, eating on the run, a lack of exercise, and inappropriate or imbalanced diet. According to Ayurveda, most illneses begin with boggy, sluggish, or otherwise inefficient digestion.

Trikatu with Clove Powder (MA99) is a classic, fiery Ayurvedic formulation engineered to ignite your Agni (digestive fire) and support clear respiration. This masterfully balanced churna (powdered herbal mix) combines the traditional “three pungents” (Trikatu) with the warming, clarifying benefits of aromatic Clove.

Main benefits

• Ignites Digestive Fire (Agni): Stimulates gastric secretions to enhance nutrient assimilation, relieve occasional sluggishness, and reduce Ama (toxic digestive residue).
• Respiratory Clear-Path Support: The natural warming properties of long pepper, black pepper, and clove help balance Kapha dosha, promoting clear lungs and unburdened breathing.
• Metabolic Booster: Gently kindles the systemic metabolism to process food efficiently and clear physical channels (Srotas).
• Enhanced Synergy with Clove: While standard Trikatu targets the upper digestive tract, the addition of clove lends extra soothing warmth to the stomach lining and enhances systemic circulation.

Suggested use

• Standard Adult Dosage: Take ½ to 1 teaspoon (approx. 1 to 3 grams) twice daily.
• Timing: Best taken 15 to 30 minutes before meals to kindle the digestive fire (Agni), or directly after meals if used primarily to alleviate occasional gas or bloating.
• Anupana (Vehicle): Mix the powder with a teaspoon of organic honey or warm water. The traditional use of honey helps carry the scraping (Lekhana) properties of the herbs deep into the tissues to clear Ama (toxins).

Ingredients & their specific effects

The word Trikatu literally translates to “three pungents.” This traditional formula combines three intensely warming spices, which Maharishi Ayurveda enhances with aromatic clove to maximise its affinity for both the digestive and respiratory systems.

Here is how each botanical contributes to the synergy of the formula:

1. Ginger / Shunti (Zingiber officinale)

Primary Action:Gastro-protective and metabolic stimulant.

Specific Effects:

• Acts as a powerful Deepana (appetiser) and Pachana (digestive helper) that jump-starts gastric secretions without aggravating Pitta as easily as other hot spices.
• Relieves occasional nausea, calms the stomach lining, and alleviates abdominal bloating and gas.
• Helps clear Ama (toxic, undigested metabolic waste) from the gastrointestinal tract.

2. Black Pepper (Piper nigrum)

Primary Action: Bio-availability enhancer and channel cleanser.

Specific Effects:

• Possesses strong Pramathi qualities – meaning it aggressively cuts through thick, sticky toxins (Ama) accumulated in the micro-circulatory channels (Srotas).
• Increases the bioavailability and absorption of other nutrients and herbs in the digestive tract.
• Helps dry up excess mucus and fluid accumulation in the stomach and upper respiratory tract.

3. Pippali (Piper longum)

Primary Action: Respiratory rejuvenative (pranavaha srotas rasayana).

Specific Effects:

• While hot upon initial digestion, Pippali uniquely leaves a sweet, cooling post-digestive effect (Vipaka), making it safe for long-term tissue rejuvenation.
• Specifically targets the lungs and bronchial system, helping to liquify and expel deeply lodged Kapha (mucus).
• Strengthens the liver and spleen metabolism.

4. Clove / Lavanga (Syzygium aromaticum)

Primary Action: Antispasmodic and aromatic Agni booster

Specific Effects:

• The MA99 Catalyst: The unique addition of clove to the classic Trikatu blend provides an exceptional soothing effect on the stomach, relieving upward-moving gas (Udana Vayu) and hiccups.
• Highly aromatic, it works immediately upon the tongue to stimulate salivary enzymes.
• Provides powerful systemic warmth that enhances peripheral blood circulation and helps clear head and chest congestion.
