Heenbovitiya (Osbeckia octandra DC) Powder from Goodfolks
Heenbovitiya, scientifically known as Osbeckia octandra DC, is a cherished medicinal herb in Sri Lankan Ayurveda, celebrated for its potent therapeutic properties. This flowering shrub flourishes in the wetlands and forested regions of Sri Lanka, where it thrives in the island’s nutrient-rich soils and tropical climate. Renowned for its support in liver health and detoxification, Heenbovitiya has been a cornerstone of traditional wellness practices for centuries.
Cultivation and Harvesting of Heenbovitiya
At Goodfolks, we cultivate Heenbovitiya sustainably under our regenerative agriculture program. By prioritizing ecological balance and natural farming methods, we ensure the plant’s purity and potency. The shrubs are grown without synthetic chemicals and hand-harvested to maintain their medicinal integrity. After harvest, the flowers, leaves, stems, and bark are carefully dried and ground into a fine powder, preserving their full nutrient profile. For those seeking a more concentrated formulation, we also offer powders made exclusively from the leaves upon request.
Goodfolks Heenbovitiya Powder can also be sourced as Organic Certified on Request.
