Sri Lanka’s Indigenous Medicine

According to local legend, it is believed that King Ravana was the first to start the ancient practice of hela wedakama. It is believed, that he used panchangaya - flowers, fruit, leaves, bark and the root of trees in the healing ritual. There are numerous written texts like arka prakasha, kumara tantra and nadi vignana that have described the art of using hela wedakama to treat individuals.

Adhitya Ayurveda follows stringent and hygienic measures when practising hela wedakama. We use sterilised material for bandaging different pattus and other herbal applications,

To promote a positive and holistic healing environment for our guests, Adhitya Ayurveda provides daily rituals and wellness principles to follow to reap the full benefits of hela wedakama.

Adhitya Ayurveda uses mostly plant-based herbs and ingredients to make indigenous guli and kalaka. We use modern and hygienic medicine preparation methods, which are easier to use than the typical Ayurveda drugs.
