Experience 2 Traditional Massage Legacies from the Land of Sunda, Now Available at Gaya Spa Pullman
Indonesia is known for its rich culture and body care traditions that have been passed down through generations. Throughout its various regions, Sundanese boasts two distinctive traditional massage techniques imbued with healing significance: Pepernian Sundanese and Peuseul Sundanese.
Now, you can experience these two cultural legacies exclusively at Gaya Spa Wellness – Pullman Hotel Bandung, where tradition meets modern luxury to provide the ultimate relaxation experience.
A Brief History of Pepernian Sundanese
Pepernian comes from the Sundanese root word "perni," which means to press or massage gently but rhythmically.
This tradition originated from the Sundanese rural community's habit of using hand pressure and natural oils to relieve aches, improve blood circulation, and restore stamina after working in the fields or forests.
Over the generations, the Pepernian Sundanese technique has evolved into a healing massage for the body and mind, believed to:
Improve blood circulation
Relax tense muscles
Relieve "wind" in the body
Balance the "wind-fire-water" energies in traditional Sundanese health philosophy.
The touch in Pepernian is known for being gentle yet deep, following the client's breathing rhythm and body harmony.
The Origins and Philosophy of Peuseul Sunda
Unlike Pepernian, Peuseul Sunda focuses more on energy cleansing and inner balance.
The name Peuseul means "turning" or "massaging in a circular pattern," describing its distinctive technique, which uses gentle spiral movements from the toes to the head.
In the past, Peuseul Sunda was performed by traditional healers or massage therapists in rural West Java, especially after someone experienced severe stress, a minor illness, or needed spiritual refreshment.
In Sundanese culture, Peuseul is also considered a form of "ngalemburkeun diri"—a process of calming the body and mind to restore harmony with nature.
Today, this technique has received modern adaptations in professional spas like Gaya Spa Wellness, but retains its traditional elements with the use of warm herbal oils and the aroma of Sundanese spices.
