Yes, Sri Lanka has its own unique indigenous medical tradition called "Hela Wedakama" . While it shares similarities with Indian Ayurveda, it has developed independently over thousands of years .

Key differences include:

Sri Lanka's traditional medicine is a rich blend of Sinhala traditional medicine, mainland Ayurveda, Siddha systems of India, Unani medicine from the Arabs, and the indigenous Desheeya Chikitsa

Ayurveda can address a wide range of health concerns. According to Dr. Upul Rajapaksha, a Sri Lankan Ayurveda physician with over 25 years of experience, the most common reasons European guests seek Ayurveda treatment include :

• Burnout and stress

• Depression and anxiety

• Insomnia and sleep disorders

• Arthritis and joint pain

• Skin conditions such as psoriasis

• Detoxification and weight management

Ayurveda is also traditionally used for treating fractures, ophthalmology, rheumatology, snake venom, burns, and dermatological conditions

Ayurvedic treatments are generally considered safe when administered by qualified and experienced practitioners . In Sri Lanka, Ayurveda doctors complete a five-year university programme plus a practical year—comparable to international medical standards .

It is important to:

• Disclose any pre-existing medical conditions or allergies

• Inform both your Ayurvedic doctor and conventional healthcare provider about ongoing treatments

• Choose reputable sources for Ayurvedic products

Note: At SriLankaStores.com, we source our Ayurvedic products from trusted local vendors and artisans, ensuring quality and authenticity

Yes, Ayurveda can be used alongside conventional medical treatments . It is advisable to inform both your Ayurvedic doctor and conventional healthcare provider about any ongoing treatments or medications to ensure coordinated and comprehensive care .

As one Sri Lankan family shared, if conventional medicine doesn't help, many turn to Ayurveda—and sometimes it provides relief when other treatments have failed .

For meaningful therapeutic results, at least two weeks is recommended for a full Ayurveda cure, with three weeks being ideal .

Dr. Upul explains: "I would not recommend a one-week treatment unless it is only part of a wellness holiday. After such a short time, no positive benefit can yet be achieved" .

For a complete Panchakarma (detoxification treatment), the body needs time to go through all three phases:

1. Pre-treatment – Preparation

2. Main treatment – Active therapy

3. Post-treatment – Stabilisation

Absolutely! Ayurveda pursues two goals: healing and prevention .

Panchakarma is used both for existing complaints and for prevention. Dr. Upul recommends starting prevention as early as possible—before complaints become chronic. There is no age limit for Ayurveda treatment .

As he explains: "A serious illness occurs when the three Doshas accumulate in a negative way and mutate through six stages. If we interrupt this process at stage one, we achieve significantly better results. It is better to start with the recommended plan before the first stage has even been reached" .

For healthy people, a Panchakarma cure can:

• Strengthen the immune system

• Prevent complaints

• Create a conscious starting point for a healthier lifestyle
