The Founding Matriarch

The roots of Pilapitiya Ayurveda trace back over 150 years to a formidable matriarch from the Kandyan kingdom region, known for her deep understanding of Udarata Behethge (upcountry traditional medicine).

Her practice drew from the unique medicinal philosophies and herbal preparations native to Sri Lanka’s central highlands. Remedies which were passed down orally or through Ola Leaf manuscripts and closely guarded within the family lineage.

Her intuitive mastery and healing success earned her reverence within local communities and laid the therapeutic foundation for the generations that followed.
