Siddhalepa donates Ayurveda medicines to Sri Lanka Army

-

Following the Ayurveda medicine donation to the IDH Hospital in April, Siddhalepa, the leader of the Ayurveda industry in Sri Lanka, donated another stock of Ayurveda medicines to

Sri Lanka Army.

Siddhalepa Group Managing Director Asoka Hettigoda and Director Vidyani Hettigoda handed over the goods to Army Commander Lieutenant General L.H.S.C. Silva, at the Defence headquarte­rs complex, Akuregoda.

Siddhalepa wishes the best of health to our brave soldiers of Sri Lanka Army, who are making a tremendous commitment in the fight against COVID-19. In the fight against this pandemic in Sri Lanka, the wisdom of Ayurveda and its remedies to enhance the immunity have been recognised by the medical authoritie­s and Government of Sri Lanka.

The wisdom of Ayurveda clearly explains how a disease can be contagious and also how it can be prevented. Ayurveda focuses on preventing diseases as much as curative remedial procedures and it states that immunity, physical and mental strength and hygienic practices are the paramount means to prevent a disease from spreading and becoming contagious.

As the country’s pioneer and leading Ayurveda products manufactur­er, Ayurveda healthcare service provider and promoter, Hettigoda Group with a heritage of over 200 years, passing on to the sixth generation, is playing a key role in shaping the future of the Ayurveda industry in Sri Lanka and the

Asian region.

Its flagship brand Siddhalepa is now a household name and it is the ‘Vedamahatt­aya in every household’.

Its consumers, the people of Sri Lanka, have shown the trust and faith towards Siddhalepa and have embraced Siddhalepa for 85 years.

Siddhalepa has been with the people of Sri Lanka through numerous adversitie­s to the nation. Whether it is tsunami, flood or any other disaster faced by the country, Siddhalepa has come to the forefront to look after our people by being a great example of corporate social responsibi­lity. Siddhalepa identified the importance of educating and producing immune boosting products for the community in the fight against COVID-19. Hence, it initiated a project to donate Ayurveda immunity boosting products to the frontliner­s of the battle.

At a time the whole world navigates through the uncertaint­y of COVID-19, Sri Lanka, as a nation, stands strong facing unpreceden­ted challenges, thanks to the unparallel service of selfless people. Sri Lanka Army is one frontline force in this battle, which is doing a commendabl­e sacrifice to control the spreading of the pandemic. The donation consists of:
