Na Srí Lance je ájurvédská medicína založena na staletých pokladnicích domorodých znalostí, přírodního prostředí a kulturního repertoáru. Podle archeologických důkazů sahá lidská civilizace 30 000 let do minulosti. Jeskynní lidé té doby domestikovali mnoho odrůd divokých rostlin a používali je jako potravinu a léky.
Locally known as Bovitiya or Heen Bovitiya (Osbeckia octandra), this endemic Sri Lankan shrub is highly valued for its medicinal properties. Lakpura® Dehydrated Heenbovitiya Whole Leaves are sustainably sourced from small-scale farmers who allow the plant to grow naturally in the wild, ensuring it remains completely free from pesticides. The leaves are carefully harvested and traditionally dehydrated to preserve their natural potency, aroma, and nutritional integrity.
Rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, Heen Bovitiya is widely recognized for supporting overall wellness and vitality. These whole leaves can be infused into teas, blended into smoothies, added to curries, or sprinkled over breakfast dishes for daily nutritional benefits. Traditionally, Heen Bovitiya has been used to support treatments for diabetes, hemorrhoids, hepatitis, ascites, jaundice, liver disorders, hyperlipidemia, and even for its potential in helping combat cancer cell activity.
