Calm your mind, relax your muscles and soothe your soul in an atmosphere of tranquility and peace. Boreh, made from a mixture of indigenous herbs and spices including nutmeg, pepper, cloves, ginger, Javanese long pepper, Curcuma heyneana and rice powder is a traditional Balinese body scrub that has been used for centuries to warm the body, improve blood circulation and relieve muscular aches and pains, chills and headaches.
We begin your ritual with a massage using an aromatherapy oil to nourish and soothe the skin and eliminate tensions from your muscles. We follow this with a Boreh paste of indigenous herbs and spices, including nutmeg, pepper, cloves, ginger and rice powder. As you are gently exfoliated, experience a sensation of warmth as your therapist massages your neck and shoulders. We gently apply a cucumber body mask to cool, moisturize and soothe. Finally, enjoy the pleasure of a traditional mandi to cleanse your body and relaxing flower bath while enjoy a cup of ginger tea.
