It is an inseparable part of life from the first breath of a child to the most honored elders. A tradition that is as old as Bali itself is bodywork. From kings to commoners massage and the healing arts have been an integral part of Balinese Society from its inception. The lavish abundance of flowers, herbs, spices and medicinal plants and trees, are the basis for Jamu, Indonesian traditional medicine. Natural gifts from nature are carefully blended into treatments for health and beauty. For the past four years Taksu Wana Prastha Spa in Ubud has been in creation.
