Balinese boreh ( massage and scrub )
This is a centuries-old recipe from the village using spices and roots ( clove, ginger, and galangal roots ) that we more readily associate with curry. Its exfoliating ingredients soften the skin. The Boreh includes massage of the face, neck, and scalp. Then we nourish your skin with grated cucumber, and continue with a traditional shower or ylang–ylang essential oil. We finish by using a refreshing body lotion to rejuvenate your skin.
(Traditionally, this treatment was prepared to warm the body in the first signs of the windy weather. When I was a child, my family always used the Boreh when we got a cold, fever, headache, arthritis, or chill. Because doctors were not available at that time, the whole Balinese family used the Boreh as a curative and preventative treatment.
Note : (The Boreh is not recommended for pregnant women as the penetrative ingredients direct the heat away from the womb to the body’s extremities ).
