Ayurveda

As nature intended

Sri Lanka’s ancient cures are more popular today than ever, when bitten by a snake, people living in villages rarely seek Western allopathic treatment but go to the Ayurvedic doctor.

The island is a granary of herbal plants for this purpose. There are 200 or so indigenous plants growing here that are used in this ancient health care system, which can be traced back 4000 years to hindu scriptures. Although it was termed native medicine during colonial times and put on the back-burner, the monk in the temple and local ”Vederala” kept the system alive. It has recently gained huge popularity, with European, Japanese and Middle Eastern clients regarding its effects highly enough to import Sri Lankan herbal concoctions made in the time honoured methods. Every ailment from diabetes control to rejuvenation, menopausal symptoms, joint ailments and bone breakages can be solved through this Science of Life.

In September 2007, Sri Lanka’s first Ayurveda conference invites delegates from all round the world to promote 150 local companies producing natural remedies in the form of pills, oils, and tonics distilled and fermented in traditional methods with as much care as the French give their wine.
