Victor Hettigoda presents a copy of the CD to Export Development and International Trade Minister Prof. G.L. Pieris. Secretary to the President Lalith Weeratunga is also in the picture.

'The Ayurvedic doctor that should be in every household.'

Victor's untiring efforts and devotion towards Ayurveda won the accolade of his father resulting in the reward of disclosing the secret Formula of 'Siddhalepa' Balm - the Wonder Balm. The desire for independence and the anxiety for achievement were in him, but financial resources were a problem to him. However, the initial investment of Rs 2,500/= came to him from a trusted relative in 1971 to start his venture.

The man worked hard travelling - very often on foot- across the length and breadth of the Country selling his balm, soap and mosquito coils. Today it is a flourishing multi - crore enterprise exporting to 19 countries and employing 3,500 employees.
Moreover, Hettigoda is also one of the main founders of the wonder balm, Siddhalepa. The secret formula, which has been guarded for more than 200 years was disclosed to him by his father, and after working hard to promote the product, is now recognized worldwide as a leader in 'Veda Beheth' (Sinhala for herbal based medicine).

Besides the Ayurvedic products he has also established ayurvedic hospitals cum health resort - hotels. There is the modern hospital in Anuradhapura and compost factory collecting elephant dung in Talawa
