Founder’s Story
Hi, I am Lakshani Perera born in 1997 in Sri Lanka and I migrated to Europe at the age of 16 with my family. My education interests were in International Business and Tourism Management, with higher education in Sales Management.Now I am also a certified Ayurvedic nutritionist.
The Corona Pandemic impacted me to shift directions and I began research into the benefits of natural medicine, or holistic alternatives to western medicines. During the pandemic whilst living in the west I was very much in touch with family and friends back home. I kept having conversations on how they used natural herbs such as Coriander and spices such as Ceylon Cinnamon, Cloves, Saffron and Pepper to make immunity boosting drinks which are naturally grown and found in every single home to use in almost every meal that is prepared. This grew my curiosity into Ayurvedic products and indigenous spices that are grown on my home soil. These soul soothers heal as much as revive, strengthen and contribute to healthier general well-being. The secret of blends and teas goes back many centuries and has served our ancestors through many health ailments. These are gifts of the soil to the people of the land.
Our generation has forgotten that nature makes us complete personage. Me as a young entrepreneur thought to initiate “Nivartana”, a combination of herbs,spices and handcrafts which sets a sustainable touchstone in my life. Also, fostering Ceylon culture and traditions in an online platform by combining most authentic Ceylonese products is another vision which is transformed to a reality with the inception of “Nivartana”.” I highly believe that if you want to change the world, the transpose should begin with you, and Nivartana is my outset which I place in your hands.”

Derzeit entdecke und erforsche ich weiterhin heilende Mittel aus meiner Heimat Sri Lanka. Unsere Küchen zaubern Gerichte, die mit Gewürzen durchdrungen und im Geschmack bereichert sind. Doch der moderne Lebensstil lässt uns diese Elemente manchmal vernachlässigen, sodass wir Mahlzeiten mit schlechter Ernährung zu uns nehmen. Ich habe erkannt, dass großartige Mahlzeiten von den Zutaten abhängen und nicht von der Zeit, die wir für ihre Zubereitung aufwenden. Wenn wir unsere Küche mit natürlichen Gewürzgläsern und Kräutern ausstatten und diese in unsere Speisen integrieren oder täglich eine Tasse Kräutertee trinken, stärken wir automatisch unser Immunsystem. Vitamine, die das Immunsystem schwächen können, sind Spurenelemente und können je nach Klima, Lebensphase und allgemeinem Gesundheitszustand variieren. Dies geschieht sehr subtil, sodass unser Wohlbefinden plötzlich nachlassen kann. Die tägliche Verwendung natürlicher Lösungen verhindert dies und unterstützt ein längeres, gesünderes Leben. Meine Neugier, mehr über Ayurveda und traditionelle Medizin Sri Lankas zu lernen, führte dazu, dass ich zertifizierte ayurvedische Ernährungsberaterin wurde und heute beratend tätig bin. In den letzten Jahren habe ich mich intensiv mit diesen Themen beschäftigt und ich verspreche mir selbst, noch mehr zu tun
As I do have an inherent love for my birth country, I love supporting the small farmers and traders who continue tradition and culture. Belief begets belief – therefore when natives plant their herbs and spices there is supernatural belief and knowledge that is almost a spiritual experience for these farmers. Finding the perfect Ginger root, or sourcing the aromatique Cardamon or Clove which is harvested after smelling the aroma for its perfect season. It’s pure and its personal. I like to think that there is a little piece of Sri Lanka all over the world, consumed through food, drink, accessories, utensils, eco friendly daily use items and experienced through flavour, taste and convenience. I like to share the artistic work of the artisan Batik designers who make unique works of art that are very close to my heart. Even though the process of Batik is slow and tedious not to mention the heat of wax and fire, it is a unique work of art that is admired worldwide. Therefore, I welcome you to a ‘Nivartana’ experience, tropical goodness available in a store.
Lastly I would like to say , Our generation has forgotten that nature makes us complete personage. Me as a young entrepreneur
thought to initiate “Nivartana”, a combination of herbs,spices and handcrafts which sets a sustainable touchstone in my life. Also, fostering Ceylon culture and traditions in an online platform by combining most authentic Ceylonese products is another vision
