We are thrilled to introduce you to a part of the Proud Ceylon Nature Products family—the dedicated local suppliers who make our mission possible!
A Hand-Harvested Treasure from the Hills
In this beautiful image, you see two of our valued partners holding freshly harvested bunches of Heen Bovitia (Osbeckia octandra).
Our precious Heen Bovitia leaves are carefully and sustainably hand-harvested by local communities from the ancient, mist-shrouded forests surrounding the Kabaragala and Madipathana hills in Sri Lanka. This region, known for its biodiversity and stunning natural beauty, is where this powerful, endemic medicinal herb thrives.
Our Commitment Goes Beyond the Product
Heen Bovitia (also known as the ‘Liver Plant’) is a highly revered herb in traditional Ayurvedic medicine, prized for its exceptional properties, including:
- Hepatoprotective (Liver-Protective) Qualities: Used traditionally and backed by scientific studies for liver health.
- Antioxidant Power: Rich in compounds that help combat oxidative stress.
- Support for Wellness: Traditionally used for conditions like diabetes and inflammation.
When you choose a Proud Ceylon Nature Product, you are receiving an herb steeped in both ancient wisdom and modern science, sourced in its purest form.
