The Balinese Healing Table

Boreh, jamu and the traditions our therapists still work from.

Balinese healing is domestic before it is commercial. Boreh — a warming paste of clove, ginger and rice — was made for farmers before it was made for spas.

Our therapists grind theirs each morning. Jamu is pressed in the kitchen from turmeric and tamarind grown in the lower garden.
