“I don’t normally swallow mysterious pills from strangers, but in Ubud I made an exception. This small-but-lively city is the health capital of Bali, and I couldn’t resist tracking down Wayan Nuriasih, one of the star healers from the book Eat, Pray, Love, and trying her jamu—traditional Indonesian medicinal concoctions.”
Join me in Wayan’s health drink-serving, palm-reading, future-forecasting, herbal-scrubbing, massage-giving, bodywork shop as the healer uses me to entertain the neighborhood. The story, published in Wandering in Bali: A Tropical Paradise Discovered, will be available on June 1, 2012.
