Born out of a love for the healing traditions of the Himalayas, Jalu is a private bathhouse located just a few minutes from Downtown Lawrence, KS. Circled by pristine forest and prairie, the space invites complete relaxation and time to restore yourself. In Tibetan, Jalu འཇའ་ལུས། means “Rainbow Body,” which refers to the transcendence of physical suffering, uniting the five elements in perfect balance.

Five Elements Healing
Our bathhouse experience honors the Five Elements principles of Sowa Rigpa, Traditional Tibetan medicine. Each modality represents a unique aspect that supports holistic balance within. Immerse yourself in traditional healing as you journey towards perfect health.
Water Element
Mineral Tub
The water element comprises the majority of the physical body. When in a harmonious state, blood and energy channels can flow without obstacles, fully supporting the organ systems, inner openness, direction and clear thinking.
Fire Element
Cedar Sauna
The deep encompassing warmth of the fire element flows through the central channel and gives rise to feelings of wellbeing and stability. When in balance, the heat burns through negativity and reignites our spark in life.
Air Element
Herbal Tub
Each season features a different organic herbal bath, formulated with herbs that support the body in seasonal transition. Air and breath become a vehicle of reconciliation between the inner and outer worlds as the herbs themselves infuse the steam and the soak.
Earth Element
Himalayan Salt Cave
Sitting quietly in the salt cave, embraced by primordial elements, reground and center with ease. Enjoy the benefits of supported respiration, softening of the skin, and a clear and calm mind.
Space Element
Cold Plunge
The penetrating element of space commands crystal clear presence. A quick immersion outside in the cold plunge can sharpen the focus of the body and mind and direct energy inward as the five elements come into balance.
