Why Choose Lombok for a Healing Experience?

Unlike mainstream wellness destinations, Lombok offers authenticity. The island’s ancestral practices are still part of daily life, especially in remote villages like Tetebatu and Kembang Kuning, where nature and spirituality converge in harmony.

From herbal remedies to sacred spring rituals, Lombok Heritage’s Healing Traditions Tour is designed not as a performance—but as a shared invitation into living heritage. You’ll meet local healers (dukun), learn from their deep knowledge of plants, and engage in purifying rituals that have soothed minds and bodies for centuries.

Full-Day Itinerary: Discover Lombok’s Healing Traditions

08:00 AM – Hotel Pickup & Scenic Drive to Tetebatu

Your day begins with a comfortable pickup from your hotel (Mataram, Senggigi, Kuta, or Selong area). Our friendly local guide will welcome you and share a brief overview of the day's journey as we ascend toward Tetebatu Cultural Village, nestled at the foot of Mount Rinjani.

As the air grows cooler and greener, let the views of rice terraces, coffee trees, and bamboo forests set the tone for your wellness immersion.

09:30 AM – Welcome Ceremony & Herbal Tea at Sasak Village Home

Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted with a traditional Sasak welcome and a warm cup of organic herbal tea made from turmeric, lemongrass, and ginger — locally known as “empuq” or “beras kencur.” This is more than just a drink; it’s a centuries-old tonic to awaken your senses and prepare you for spiritual grounding.

Your guide will introduce you to your hosts — a family with generations of herbal knowledge.

10:00 AM – Healing Forest Walk & Medicinal Plant Discovery

Led by a local herbalist, you’ll take a gentle trek through a nearby protected forest. Along the way, discover over 20 varieties of medicinal plants used for everything from headaches to spiritual cleansing.

Some local highlights:

• Daun sembung – for respiratory relief

• Temulawak – anti-inflammatory and liver health

• Kayu manis hutan – forest cinnamon for blood sugar balance

• Kunyit hitam – powerful antioxidant used in energy tonics

You’ll learn how leaves, roots, and barks are identified, harvested, and prepared using sustainable practices.

11:30 AM – Purification Ritual at the Sacred Spring (“Aiq Petung”)

Next, you’ll visit one of Lombok’s sacred water springs, revered by locals for generations. Here, a local guide will guide you through a simple but powerful water purification ritual combining Sasak and animist traditions.

This ceremony symbolizes the release of negative energy and the invitation of positive spiritual flow. All tools used — flowers, rice, and water — are biodegradable and rooted in local beliefs.

Note: modest sarongs and sashes are provided.

12:30 PM – Organic Farm-to-Table Lunch & Healing Elixirs

• Kopok daun: herbal compress for muscle relaxation

• Minyak urut herbal: massage oil preparation using native spices

• Energy scanning (a spiritual diagnosis process using natural signs)

You’ll also learn how traditional beliefs are respected yet integrated with modern health practices, creating a holistic approach to healing.

03:00 PM – Mindfulness & Grounding Practice in Nature

You’ll be guided through a short grounding and breathwork session surrounded by forest and rice paddies. This session blends:

• Deep breathing

• Walking meditation

• Nature connection

It’s designed to reconnect you to the earth and encourage presence — the true essence of healing.

04:00 PM – Cultural Storytelling & Traditional Music

Before wrapping up, enjoy a relaxing session of storytelling and local music under a bamboo hut, where elders share tales of:

• How ancestors communicated with nature

• The role of balian (shamans) in village life

• Healing through song and ritual dance

You might even get the chance to try playing a gamelan gendang beleq!

05:00 PM – Optional Traditional Massage with Herbal Oils
