Unveiling Taru Pramana: Embrace Wellbeing and Culture in Eight New Wholesome Cocktails

Tjokorda Gde Agung Sukawati, renowned as the First Prince of Ubud. He played a pivotal role in transforming Ubud into a cherished tourist destination in Bali. He had a penchant for Balinese Herbal drinks known as "Loloh" and was known to apply aromatic ginger on his body to ward off fevers, boost his appetite, and maintain stable blood sugar levels.

His remarkable contributions make him a true source of inspiration. To honor his enduring legacy, his portrait is prominently displayed at the Ubud Palace Painting Museum, recognized as the oldest museum in Bali.

I have been inspired by my grandmother, who consistently practices a tradition called "Nginang," which involves rubbing betel leaves on her teeth three times a day. Betel leaves are considered the key element in this ritual and they are believed to promote dental health and lower cholesterol levels.

After performing Nginang, she always enjoys a glass of "Loloh Kunyit," a traditional drink made from coconut water, turmeric, salt, and bee honey. This refreshing drink is known for
its anti-inflammatory and its ability to enhance overall body endurance. Witnessing how my grandmother maintains her excellent health has been truly inspiring.

Reflecting on cherished childhood memories, Temulawak stands out as an age-old beverage that transports us back to our youth. It has the magical ability to bring happiness, uniting us in gatherings where it becomes a centerpiece of joy and also leaves us with lasting memories.

Furthermore, Temulawak offers health benefits by boosting the body's immune system and potentially aiding in cancer prevention.

The lush green rice fields of Ubud have consistently been a wellspring of inspiration with their vibrant and harmonious landscape. Among the various wild plants, one that frequently
catches my eye is the Kepiduh leaf. These leaves, which thrive naturally in rice fields are readily found and grow abundantly, enhancing the scenic beauty of the environment.

Kepiduh leaves offer notable health benefits, such as relieving dry coughs and contributing to anti-aging. In Bali, we harness the potential of Kepiduh by incorporating it into a traditional Balinese herbal drink known as "Loloh."

"Kayu Manis" leaf - a native plant abundant in Indonesia, particularly in Bali, is renowned for its wide popularity and numerous benefits. It serves as a delightful appetite stimulant and is a prized ingredient in both traditional herbal beverages and culinary creations.

Beyond its culinary uses, "kayu manis" leaves offer notable advantages for our well-being, including the enhancement of metabolic processes and the prevention of inflammation. You can begin your evening with this ideal beverage!
