Sanskrit Name:Trivṛta Cūrṇa
Devanagari Name:त्रिवृत चूर्ण
English Name: Trivrita Churna
Description:
Trivrita Churna is a classical Ayurvedic herbal powder primarily used for its laxative and detoxifying properties. It is made from *Operculina turpethum*, commonly known as Trivrit or Indian Jalap, which is highly regarded in Ayurveda for its ability to cleanse the digestive system and eliminate toxins from the body. This formulation is mainly used to alleviate constipation, promote bowel movements, and support liver health.
Trivrita Churna works by stimulating intestinal motility, making it effective in treating chronic constipation and conditions associated with accumulated toxins (Ama) in the body. It helps in regulating digestion, reducing bloating, and enhancing overall gastrointestinal health. Additionally, it is beneficial in managing liver disorders as it promotes bile secretion, which aids in better digestion and detoxification. Due to its purgative nature, it is also used in Panchakarma therapies, particularly in Virechana (therapeutic purgation) to cleanse excess Pitta and toxins from the system.
Apart from digestive benefits, Trivrita Churna is also known for its potential role in managing skin disorders, inflammatory conditions, and obesity by promoting metabolic balance. It is generally taken with warm water, honey, or ghee, depending on the intended therapeutic use. While highly effective, it should be used under medical supervision to avoid excessive purgation or dehydration. Individuals with weakness, pregnancy, or severe digestive issues should consult an Ayurvedic practitioner before using it.
