This is a centuries old recipe from the village using spice and roots ( clove, ginger, and galagal roots ) that we more readily associate with curry. it’s exfoliating ingredients soften the skin. The Boreh includes massage of the face, neck, and scalp. Then we nourish your skin with grained cucumber, and continue with a traditional shower or ylang – ylang essential oil. We finish with using 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).
