traditional healer called a balian, or dukun elsewhere in Indonesia, is often the first port of call when a Balinese becomes sick, not only for medical purposes but also spiritual reasons, such as contacting deceased family members while grieving. The 8,000 or so balian have learnt their trade from officially studying ancient texts for years or through divine intervention. Treatments include massaging to restore internal harmony, applying pastes, and prescribing drinks formulated from various herbs and plants. Other healing processes may be painful (being poked with a stick), unpleasant (being basted with spit) or unusual (the balian may drift into a trance).
