 The staff at Jivana Holistic Spa recently participated in a 4 day with Kim Collier, of Jamu Asian Spa Rituals. They learned the 75 minute Balinese Massage with the range of organic JAMU oils. JAMU means "herbal healing" in the Indonesian language. The client choses the scent tradition which appeals to them (hard to choose!) Offered are: Bali Flowers (Calming, Ylang Ylang); Island Fruits (Energizing Citrus); Ginger Spice (Warming and Purifying) Thai Lemongrass (Detoxifying) Jasmine Frangipani (Enchanting, Romantic) Coconilla ("Beach in a Bottle" Coconut Vanilla). There are also full body treatments including exfoliations, and body wraps. The most beautiful treatment they learned is the Javanese Lulur, the royal spa ritual from the 17th century palace traditions of Java. Traditionally, the bride-to-be would experience this treatment every day for 40 days prior her wedding to "sweeten the skin" with the intoxicating scents of Jasmine and Frangipani. The two hour complete ritual begins with a Balinese Massage and continues with the traditional full body "lulur" scrub, an ancient recipe of rice, tumeric, yogurt and jasmine perfume. The body is wrapped in the lulur scrub on our heated "Soft Pack" table where the bride-to-be floats in total relaxation for 25 minutes.
