[edit] History
With a sum of RS. 2,500, Ayurvedic Doctor Victor Hettigoda began production of the balm in 1971. Hettigoda had spent 12 years under his father's tutelage learning the secrets of Ayurveda. His father in turn learned the trade from his own father. Hettigoda first sold the product by travelling around the country convincing boutique owners and small retailers that it was genuine.
