At Arana Spa by Gdas Bali, we are committed to harnessing the natural benefits of local botanicals to provide our guests with exceptional spa experiences. One of our signature ingredients is Daun Delem, also known as the patchouli plant (Pogostemon cablin), which we use to create our favorite oil, Sakti. The name ‘Sakti’ means powerful, reflecting the oil’s versatile and potent properties. This approach aligns with the philosophy of Usadha Bali, which emphasizes the healing power of nature and traditional Balinese wisdom, guiding our holistic wellness practices at Gdas Bali.
What is Daun Delem?
Daun Delem, or patchouli, is a tropical evergreen plant native to Asia, including Indonesia. Renowned for its rich, earthy scent, its leaves yield exquisite essential oil. Patchouli is revered in perfumery and traditional health remedies, captivating with its dual purpose of fragrance and healing. In Bali, this plant has been cherished in traditional medicine for its potent healing properties.
At Gdas Bali, our commitment to holistic wellness is deeply rooted in the philosophy of Usadha Bali. Usadha Bali, guided by ancient lontar manuscripts, emphasizes the profound healing power of nature and traditional Balinese wisdom. These manuscripts detail the extensive use of botanicals like Daun Delem in remedies to balance the body, mind, and spirit. Patchouli is traditionally used for its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties, often applied in poultices or infused oils to treat various ailments, from skin conditions to joint pain. By incorporating patchouli into our spa treatments at Arana Spa, we honor this timeless wisdom and provide our guests with an authentic Balinese healing experience
