Chitrak is a potent heating spice that enkindles the digestive fire and stimulates the metabolism. Its pungent flavor and heating energy burn away toxins and accumulated fats in the intestines and throughout the body, helping to support proper digestion and promote healthy body weight. Chitrak is an excellent herb for reducing Kapha and is used in most all ayurvedic weight loss formulations.
The purifying and heating properties of Chitrak strengthen digestion and clean the GI tract by encouraging the breakdown of toxins and accumulated fats. Chitrak supports the proper function of the liver and the metabolization of fats and sugars. It helps energize the body naturally by promoting healthy digestion and the proper absorption and assimilation of nutrients. For these reasons, Chitrak is widely used in weight management formulations, where it provides a powerful boost to the metabolism and the organs of digestion, helping to not only prevent the accumulation of new fats but also burn away stagnate fat deposits.
Chitrak's balancing of Vata and reduction of Kapha is healing for the joints, particularly for people with kapha constitutions, as it balances body fluid levels and reduces friction and pain in the joints. These actions also mitigate the effects of allergies by reducing mucus without drying delicate mucus membranes.
