At KAALA Kalaththewa Luxury Eco Resort, nestled in the lush greenery of Kurundankulama, we embrace not just luxury, but nature’s wisdom. One such treasure is the Kohomba tree, also known as the Neem tree (Azadirachta indica) — a native species revered in Sri Lankan culture for its numerous health and environmental benefits.
A Tree with Ancient Roots
For centuries, the Kohomba tree has played a vital role in Ayurveda, traditional medicine, and village life across Sri Lanka. It’s commonly found near temples, gardens, and homes — offering both shade and healing.
Top Benefits of the Kohomba Tree
1. Natural Purifier of Air and Soil
Kohomba trees are known to improve air quality by absorbing pollutants and releasing clean oxygen. Their roots also help stabilize soil, preventing erosion — a perfect fit for our eco-conscious environment.
2. Medicinal Marvel
Almost every part of the Kohomba tree — leaves, bark, seeds, and oil — is used for its antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. It supports skin health, immunity, and overall wellness, making it a key ingredient in herbal treatments.
3. Eco-Friendly Insect Repellent
Neem oil derived from Kohomba seeds acts as a natural pesticide, keeping mosquitoes and harmful insects away without the use of chemicals. At KAALA, this helps us maintain a healthy, organic space for our guests.
4. Skin and Hair Care Ally
In many local traditions, Kohomba-infused water is used to treat skin irritations, dandruff, and acne. You’ll find its influence in our herbal bath rituals and spa treatments designed to detox and rejuvenate.
5. Symbol of Clean Living
The Kohomba tree symbolizes purity, protection, and natural balance — values we honor in our approach to hospitality and sustainability. Its presence on our grounds is a reflection of our commitment to wellness and harmony with nature.
