Cough and cold are common respiratory ailments that affect people of all ages, particularly during the colder months. A cold is typically caused by viral infections, such as the rhinovirus, and is characterized by symptoms like a runny or stuffy nose, sore throat, sneezing, and mild fatigue. Coughing often accompanies a cold and serves as a reflex to clear the airways of mucus and irritants. While a cough can be merely a symptom of a cold, it can also result from other conditions like allergies, asthma, or bronchitis.
As per ayurveda classical book formulation of Trikatu is known for balancing excess Vata (air) and Kapha (water) in the body. The herbs used in Trikatu support respiratory system during weather changes for a healthy throat. Its warming properties can alleviate symptoms of respiratory ailments by reducing mucus and supporting clear breathing. Trikatu is known for its ability to boost overall vitality and strengthen the immune system, making it a valuable remedy for maintaining health during seasonal changes and times of stress. Additionally, this powerful combination is particularly effective in stimulating digestion, enhancing metabolism, and promoting the absorption of nutrients.
Following are the 3 Ayurvedic herbs that are combination of Trikatu classical formulation
Kali Mirch (Piper nigrum) Fruit – It is used to enhance digestion, boost metabolism, and improve the bioavailability of other herbs. It helps in alleviating respiratory issues and expelling mucus. Additionally, it stimulates appetite and supports overall gastrointestinal health.
Pippali (Piper Longum) Fruit – It is used to enhance digestive fire, promote healthy metabolism, and alleviate respiratory issues by reducing mucus and congestion. It synergizes with the other ingredients to boost the bioavailability and efficacy of the formulation. Additionally, Pippali aids in detoxification and supports overall digestive health.
Ginger (Zingiber Officinale) Rhizome – It helps in alleviating nausea, colds, and coughs by promoting the expulsion of mucus. Additionally, ginger improves the bioavailability of other herbs in the formulation, enhancing their therapeutic effects.
