About Ayurvedic & Herbal Products from Sri Lanka
This category covers traditional Sri Lankan herbal drinks and plant powders. The items listed online at present are herbal drinks made from butterfly pea flower, ginger and coriander, iramusu (Hemidesmus indicus), moringa leaf, heen bovitiya (Osbeckia octandra) and ranawara flower (Senna auriculata). There are also powders of butterfly pea flower, hibiscus and mountain knotgrass (polpala, Aerva lanata), dehydrated mountain knotgrass leaves and moringa tablets.
These plants are traditionally prepared as herbal drinks in Sri Lanka by steeping or boiling the dried flower, leaf or root in water. The product pages describe composition and pack format only. The drinks are listed in tea bags, pyramid bags, envelopes, pouches, tins and cartons. The powders and dried leaves are listed in pouches, jars, sachets, canisters and bulk bags or drums. The tablets are listed in bottles, jars, pouches, tubes and blister packs. Private label packing is listed on the items in this category.
Typical buyers are herbal tea brands, natural product distributors, importers of Sri Lankan groceries, cafes and retailers, and food and drink makers who use the powders for colour and flavour. Herbal products and food supplements are regulated differently in each market, so check the labelling, permitted ingredient and registration rules of your destination country before you order. The Sri Lanka Export Development Board (EDB) names the Department of Ayurveda among the institutions related to this sector.
