Siddhalepa Natural Asamodagam Spirit is a herbal preparation in the Ayurvedic tradition of aqueous distillates, known in classical practice as an Arka. Despite the word 'spirit' in its name, the product contains no alcohol; it is a water-based distillate drawn from the dried seeds of Asamodagam, a herb long cultivated across Sri Lanka and recognised in Tamil as Omam. The 350 ml amber glass bottle carries a white screw cap and a tamper-evident seal, and the label is printed in Sinhala, Tamil and English.
The ingredient at the heart of this preparation is Trachyspermum roxburghianum, the plant known in Sri Lanka as Asamodagam. Its small dried fruits — close in appearance to ajwain or caraway seeds — are processed by water distillation at Hettigoda Industries' pharmaceutical factory in Ratmalana, producing the clear aqueous extract that fills the bottle. The identity and botanical authenticity of the source plant used in this product have been confirmed via voucher specimen held at Hettigoda's own research and development laboratory, with authentication by the National Herbarium of Peradeniya.
Siddhalepa is the flagship brand of the Hettigoda Group, a Sri Lankan company with more than two centuries of practice in Ayurveda. The manufacturing facility holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 22000 certifications alongside GMP accreditation, and preparation is carried out by experienced staff under the supervision of qualified Ayurveda practitioners. All botanical ingredients are sourced from the areas where they naturally grow in abundance, and each is classically authenticated before use.
This preparation is formulated for infants, children and adults, with dosage guidance printed on the back label. The manufacturer recommends following the label instructions precisely, as the volume given varies by age group. Because dosage and dilution differ significantly between a newborn and an older child or adult, the label directions should be read carefully before first use.
The product is made in Sri Lanka and is widely stocked by Sri Lankan households both on the island and abroad. It travels well in its sealed amber glass bottle, which protects the contents from light. Buyers ordering for family use or to send overseas will find the 350 ml size practical for extended household use.
