Headquartered in Mumbai & Delhi, Sepalika was launched in March 2016 by Sharda Agarwal and Mahesh Jayaraman. The inspiration for setting up Sepalika came from Sharda’s personal experience of suffering from migraine for eight long years. She consulted several specialists and conducted a few tests but in vain. Apart from suffering from serious side effects by consuming the prescribed medications, th
ere was no improvement in her condition. This is when Sharda met Mahesh, a traditional acupressure therapist and health counselor, who helped her get rid of the pulsating headaches of migraine in just four months. This prompted Sharda to set up Sepalika along with Mahesh, to help people cut down their dependence on medicines and counter their illnesses through the right diet, supplements, and lifestyle interventions. The platform bears a Sinhalese name, ‘Sepalika’, meaning the Night Jasmine. The small white flowers are anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory and anti-viral and alleviate pain and inflammation. The name reflects the healing power of nature in treating various illnesses.
