ONE-ON-ONE CONSULTATION WITH CHEF ARIF
“In nature, each direction has a deity and a jamu,” Chef Arif explains. “If you see the body as a temple, you know to bring it balance. Prayer, wisdom, and health: all are equally important.”
Enjoy a private consultation with Chef Arif Springs, founder of Djamoekoe and Ubud’s celebrated expert in Javanese herbalism & jamu and better health through plant based medicine.
In the consultation, you and Arif will talk privately, one-on-one, about your health concerns. Arif will identify what plant based remedy may be of most help to you and after the consultation will prepare a one-week supply of the remedy. He’ll contact you personally a week later to check on your progress.
