Trimada: the super combo for metabolism

By Vaidya Jay · Updated August 2026

D igest, assimilate nutrients, and separate and excrete out waste product. When the metabolism is off, the inflammation turns on. That is the difference between health and disease.

In the system of Ayurveda, we always try to prevent inflammation, promote metabolism, digestion, and assimilation.

Vaidya Jay on Trimada: the three herbs behind Healthy Metabolism.

Quick Answer

What is Healthy Metabolism?

Healthy Metabolism is Trimada: three herbs the great sages of Ayurveda selected for their remarkable action on the metabolism. Chitraka ignites the metabolic processes, Musta calms the gut for absorption and reduces inflammation in the body, and Vidanga is a very good anti-bug, anti-parasitic herb. Working together they help the body digest, assimilate nutrients, and separate and excrete out waste product. That is why Vaidya Jay calls it the super combo for metabolism.

Health and Disease

What happens when the metabolism is off?

When the metabolism is off, the inflammation turns on. That is the difference between health and disease.

In the system of Ayurveda, we always try to prevent inflammation, promote metabolism, digestion, and assimilation.

Trimada · The Three

Musta · Chitraka · Vidanga

The great sages of Ayurveda, with their wisdom, selected these three wonderful herbs. These are called Trimada, and their action on the metabolism is really remarkable.

The Three Herbs

What does each herb do?

  • Chitraka · ignites our metabolic processes.
  • Musta · helps to calm down the gut for absorption, and also helps with reducing any kind of inflammation that is going on in the body.
  • Vidanga · a very good anti-bug, anti-parasitic herb.

Musta's Role

Why is Musta in this formula?

Musta helps to calm down the gut for absorption. The gut has its own nervous system, and Musta is one of the best calming helps for the gut. In our society we have a great crisis of non-absorption of nutrients: we may eat wonderful stuff, but we don't absorb. Musta is your best friend to absorb.

Vaidya Jay tells the full Musta story, the nervous gut, the tea of Cyperus rotundus, and the absorption crisis, in Musta for a nervous-free gut.

Mel,

Hi,
I am interested in this combination for healthy metabolism. My concern, being predominantly, Vata, is that is might be too strong for my system?
Could you advise me on this please. If is okay to take, how much and for how long please. I don’t seem to do well with anything astringent at the moment or too heating.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Thank you,
Jayne
