Siddhalepa
Siddhalepa began in 1934 with a herbal balm. Its maker, Ayur. Dr. Hendrick De Silva Hettigoda, came from a family of Ayurvedic physicians in Walpola, Imaduwa, in the Galle district of southern Sri Lanka, and the balm in its small yellow tin became one of the most familiar things in a Sri Lankan home. His son, Dr. Victor Hettigoda, built it into the Hettigoda Group. Everything is still made in Sri Lanka, by Hettigoda Industries in Ratmalana, and the range is exported to more than twenty countries.
Today the balm sits alongside Ayurvedic elixirs, herbal teas, massage and hair oils, hand-made soaps, bath and spa products, oral care, a baby range, and the classical Ayurvedic medicines of the family's pharmacy.
