Recipe: Raw Food Healing ‘Jamu’ or ‘Love’ Juice from Indonesia
Finally! A new video featuring our favorite Ms. Ta, my dear Thai friend and raw foodist from Thai Organic Life. With Ms. Ta, we never know what we will get, and on this particular day I rang her up to say hi and she told me to come over for some Jamu Juice. So I brought the camera and that was that. Totally unplanned. That’s just how we roll 🙂
The Jamu Juice was taught to Ta by her friend from Indonesia. It’s not something that they normally drink in Thailand, although we have all the ingredients here. Later I found out that this juice was featured in ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ as the juice that healed Elizabeth Gilbert (Julia Roberts) during her time in Bali. Some people call it the ‘Love Juice.’
The ingredients for this delicious raw food creation are: fresh turmeric, fresh ginger, fresh wild ginger, Thai leaves, what I swear is betel nut but Ta says is not (you can decide) and raw honey. It’s a medicinal juice that cleanses the body and is a great blood purifier and mini-detox for the liver.
In between, we also had to pay heed to the beloved ‘Durian Ban’ or ‘House Durian’ that was calling out to me from behind the camera. The smell was distracting me into a happy durian raw food bliss! A bit of durian and a yummy detox juice makes for a healthy moment shared between friends. Hope you enjoy!

You have great content and I love reading your posts. I can’t clearly hear what your friend is saying due to the background noise combined with her accent. Please close the doors and windows and use subtitles when you can! I would love to try this recipe but after watching the first minute, I gave up not understand what the ingredients are.
and you can give me Ms Ta’s address in Thailand. The next time , I will visit her. Thanks.
ah! so could you show me some where in Indo, please! I’m confusing about that problem. I don’t know anywhere have jamu in Indo? Blessings!
Ms. Ta lives in Thailand not Indonesia unfortunately. Best to ask around when you arrive to Indo, or watch the video to learn how to do it yourself when you are there. Blessings!
I want to say, how to see ms Ta when I come to indonesia? or I can look for who do that similar in that? Thanks so much
How to do that clip when I come to indonesia? Help me! Feedback as soon as possible.
Thanks and regards.
Janny.
Watch the clip…it shows you how! Enjoy and safe travels!
