I Sri Lanka är ayurvedisk medicin baserad på landets månghundraåriga skattkammare av inhemsk kunskap, naturliga miljö och kulturella repertoar. Enligt arkeologiska bevis går den mänskliga civilisationen tillbaka 30 000 år. Grottmänniskor på den tiden domesticerade många vilda växtsorter och använde dem till mat och medicin.
