Tq doctor.
Taking Trikatu and Triphala churnas can be very beneficial, especially for the symptms you've described. However, it's essential to use them appropriately to balance your doshas and not overdo it.
Trikatu is a potent mix of black pepper, long pepper, and ginger. It's meant to stoke the digestive fire (agni) and is particularly suited for balancing Kapha and alleviating congestion. In your case, considering your respiratory issues and feeling of ongoing cold, Trikatu can support the body's natural warmth and aid digestion.
Triphala, meanwhile, is a blend of three fruits: Amalaki, Haritaki, and Bibhitaki. It's known for its mild laxative effect, making it very suitable for treating chronic constipation, while also maintaining overall gut health.
For combining these churnas, you should ideally use them under the guidance of an experienced practitioner who can monitor your progress. Typically, you might start with 1/2 teaspoon each of Trikatu and Triphala mixed in warm water, taken once or twice a day. Mornings and evenings could be optimal times, on an empty stomach for better absorption. Make sure to listen to your body; if it feels too heating, you may need to adjust the quantities or frequency.
In terms of duration, herbs like Trikatu and Triphala can be taken for prolonged periods, but this is better determined personally based on your doshic constitution (prakriti) and how severe your symptoms are. For some, a span of 4 to 6 weeks can help reset the body's natural rhythms. then, a reassessment might ne needed to decide further use.
With your symptoms, it's also beneficial to support these herbs with a dosha-friendly diet and lifestyle. Hydrating well, eating warm, cooked meals, and avoiding excessive cold, damp environments could complement the effects of these churnas. If symptms persist or worsen, you should seek a consultation with a qualified practitioner to refine your approach.
