The manufacture of sea salt is an old tradition on Bali! We use it for treatments! There are so many healthy minerals in!

Sea salt from Bali
The balinese tradition of making salt from the sea is an old one. The growth of the tourism will take the necessary beach front land for this work and we are afraid, this old tradition will be lost in some years. We are on the way to buy some pieces of land at the beach to protect this old craft and the salt as well.
BOREH Bath Salts
Salt production process & steps:
BOREH bath salts are made of an absolutely unadulterated and pure sea product which is still extracted following the same age-old manual process as countless generations did before. The seawater is drawn in Bali from the Indian Ocean in the traditional way, using fan-shaped baskets and treated near a fresh water source which flows under a holy temple dedicated to the sea god: the salt is accordingly additionally “charged” with precious energy.
It is then spread for drying onto lava fields abundant with minerals so that the salt crystals, already loaded with natural elements, get even more enriched through the absorption of the lava minerals. The final drying takes place in hollowed out coconut palm trunks.
Once the drying is finalized, the unadulterated salt in its purest form is filled in plaited baskets made from palm tree leaves and ready to use. Since it is our philosophy to avoid using chemicals, you may find remainders from lava, leaves and coconut in our salts: this is a sign for the purity of our natural and harmless products.
How to use:
Dissolve 2 tablespoons bath salts mixed with essential oils in the bath water which should attain an approximate temperature of 37 degree Celsius: our skin will mostly benefit from the sea salt nutrients at this point. If you wish to increase the effect, add up another 300gr of our Natural bath salts. Then relaxe for 15-20 minutes! Please thoroughly rinse off your skin after this bath experience. You also may want to use a strainer when you drain the bath water in order to collect the salt remains.
BOREH Bath Salts:
- Nature Sea Salt high in minerals, loose flex and cellulite
- Anti Stress stimulates and soothes at the same time while promoting the sensation of well-being
- Aprodisiaca inviting you to reach for a new sensual and erotic consciousness.
- Body Warming stimulates blood circulation, tired muscles are relaxed Energizer invigorates and recharges the body with energy Exotic fosters you in getting grounded and relaxed.
- Relaxing promotes deep relaxation, helps to reinvigorates the body and mind
- Sensual clears your mind refreshes and regenerates your body

Vipassana at Villa Boreh – One of the oldest meditations! A great experience for us and the group!
December 10th, 2009
Buddha
We closed for the public because we have a Vipassana meditation group here! Vipassana is one of the oldest meditations of the world and some people believe Buddha gets enlighten with this meditation.
A group from Russia is doing it in our beautiful tropical seminar center. We serve them with all to create a space of tranquility and seclusion.
Here a bit about Vipassana from Wikipedia:
Vipassanā (Pāli) or vipaśyanā (विपश्यना, Sanskrit) in the Buddhist tradition means insight into the nature of reality. A regular practitioner of Vipassana is known as a Vipassi (vipasya).
In the Theravadin context, this entails insight into the three marks of existence. In Mahayana contexts, it entails insight into what is variously described as sunyata, dharmata, the inseparability of appearance and emptiness, clarity and emptiness, or bliss and emptiness.[1] Vipassana is one of Asia’s most ancient techniques of meditation, attributed to Gautama Buddha. It is a way of self-transformation through self-observation and introspection. In English, vipassanā meditation is often referred to simply as “insight meditation”.
In a broader sense, vipassanā has been used as one of two poles for the categorization of types of Buddhist meditation, the other being samatha (Pāli; Sanskrit: śamatha). Samatha is a focusing, pacifying and calming meditation, common to many traditions in the world, notably yoga. It is used as a preparation for vipassanā, pacifying the mind and strengthening the concentration in order to allow the work of insight. This dichotomy is also sometimes discussed as “stopping and seeing.” In Buddhist practice it is said that, while samatha can calm the mind, only insight can reveal how the mind was disturbed to start with, which leads to prajñā (Pāli: paññā, wisdom) and jñāna (Pāli: ñāṇa, knowledge) and thus understanding, preventing it from being disturbed again.
The term is also used to refer to the Buddhist vipassana movement (modeled after Theravāda Buddhism meditation practices), which employs vipassanā and ānāpāna meditation as its primary techniques and places emphasis on the teachings of the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta. The primary initial subject of investigation in that style of meditation is sensation and feeling (Skt: Vedanā).
Coral Calcium from Villa Boreh – Natural and healthy is a gift for your body!
December 8th, 2009
Coral Calcium
The next natural product which we produce in our manufacture is coral calcium! It is healthy in many ways and we have lot’s of cases from people who increase their health with great results. Please, comment if you have some experiences and ask us!
Coral calcium products have great health benefits for your bodies, but does the harvesting of them harm the coral reefs that produces this nutrient packed powder? The answer is that it actually helps the reefs – read on to find out just how your coral calcium is harvested.
Where we get coral calcium
Indonesia is the source of our coral calcium. This mineral can be obtained either from the land or from the ocean’s floor at the foot of the coral reefs.
Indonesia’s islands have a volcanic origin. Frequently, coral reefs associated with underwater volcanoes like these will grow sideways. They do this to cover pits which the volcanoes produced in the seabed. Removing marine coral calcium droppings which pile up around the reefs clears a pathway for expansion and new reef growth.
The coral reefs have edges that drop off making coral sand which is used for the coral calcium products we consume. It takes a long time to make the calcium and the pieces accumulate over a period of years. The natural movement of the waves contribute to the making of the reef. The waves help break off the pieces of the coral reef as do the fish that nibble on the reef. This sediment falls to the ocean floor making coral sand.
No damage is done to the living coral reef during this harvesting. They’re actually revived and brought back to life. The dredges that are used to gather marine coral by lightly suctioning the sand are known as suction dredges. The coral is actually harvested three or four miles away form the nearest reef.
The effect of coral calcium
Coral calcium products are healthy for our bodies and also for the coral reefs. Unlike many products which are harmful to the environment, this is one renewable resource where the harvesting actually helps the source it comes from.
People all over the world are raving about the health benefits of coral calcium, but just what is this strange alternative medicine? Here are some things about marine coral calcium you might want to know.
Marine coral calcium is a natural substance that actually comes from coral reefs. It is the broken off pieces that are pulverized to sand and it is very rich in over 70 trace minerals.
Calcium and magnesium are the big compounds that make up the main characteristics of both organic and inorganic marine coral. Marine coral has no taste or smell, and will dissolve in water, but the actual dissolving takes quite a while. It will take one hour to dissolve approximately 1% of the coral, but if marine coral calcium is ingested in capsule form, it will dissolve in your stomach within minutes, thus giving you the full benefits of all the minerals as opposed to a small percentage you would get from the water.
Among the health benefits of coral calcium is the fact that it can adjust the acidity or alkalinity of your water. While most people can‘t really take advantage of this on a day to day basis, if you can add it to your homes water supply it could be very beneficial. Additional benefits of adding marine coral calcium include removal of residual chlorine and reduction in bacterial growth as well as other impurities.
The health benefits of coral calcium are many, including:
- The ratio of calcium, magnesium and trace minerals in it is in natural proportion to the human body.
- It is readily absorbed by the body.
- It can balance your bodies PH level (which helps fight disease, especially cancer)
- It cleanses the kidney, intestines and liver.
- It boosts your immune system
