Bali's rich tradition of ancient healing modalities harmonizes delightfully with contemporary needs

Bali has a long tradition of Bali Usada, also known as Balinese traditional healing. This practice uses natural herbs and spices, holistic therapies and ancient wisdom to cure physical and mental illness. The Balinese live equally in two worlds: the seen or conscious world called sekala, and the unseen or psychic world, called niskala. In traditional Balinese healing, both of these elements are addressed in order to truly heal an ill patient. The rich Balinese culture includes a wealth of information on herbal remedies, massage and energy healing, customs that continue to thrive today. The lush Indonesian landscape produces a wide range of herbal medicines known as 'jamu', and the Balinese still consult Balians – traditional Balinese healers who work with divine energy. This respect for alternative healing modalities attracts and impressive number of leading international holistic healers, many of whom have settled in Bali to run their own practices.
