In Sri Lanka Ayurveda medicine is based on the country’s centuries old treasure trove of indigenous knowledge base, natural environment and cultural repertory. According to archeological evidence, human civilisation dates back 30,000 years. Cave men of that age domesticated many wild plant varieties and used them for food and medicines.
Commonly known as Venival or Venivelgeta (Coscinium fenestratum) in Sri Lanka and also known as Yellow Vine, Tree Turmeric or Calumba Wood around the world, it is an important herbal plant that is used in traditional medicinal practices such as Ayurveda. The roots and stem / bark of the creeper are mainly used in various herbal concoctions, while it is mainly paired with Coriander. Venival, when boiled, exudes a yellowish tint while it is treasured for its anti-inflammatory properties.
Venivel has the potential to offer relief for colds, fever, skin ailments, wounds, pains, ulcers and even tetanus. It may also regulate blood sugar levels too. The taste of venivel is bitter, but many people endure it due to its wholesome goodness. Other than consuming the boiled herbal drink, tree turmeric is also used in many skin-care preparations where you can use it to cleanse and rejuvenate your skin.
Dehydrated and packed to retain its nutrients and offer the bark a longer shelf life, Ransaru makes sure they follow proper standards. Tree Turmeric is available in 100g, 250g, 500g and 1kg pack to suit your medicinal needs.
