foreigners are visiting Sri Lanka to seek treatment.

As a result of numerous appeals made by practitioners of indigenous medicine the Ministry of Indigenous Medicine is to launch a programme to cultivate 100 acres of ayurvedic herbal plants in the country.
It has been decided to launch this programme as a joint project with a leading Indian company with immediate effect to develop the ayurveda cultivation industry. The Ministry expects to reduce importing ayurvedic herbs while guiding officers to produce ayurvedic medicines with new technology. The Indigenous Medicine Ministry has also planned to introduce new tablets with traditional ayurvedic products and to establish a new institution to study ayurvedic plants. As an initial step in this regard the Ministry is to allocate Rs 30 million for this task.
The practitioners of indigenous medicine have pointed out that prices of ingredients used for indigenous medicine such as opium, sadilingam, amukkara, devadara, bin kohomba and others, have seen a sharp increase in prices.
Ailments can be cured using indigenous medicine where western medicine has failed, and even foreigners are visiting Sri Lanka to seek treatment.
