Balay Pahauli, meaning “House of Restoration” in Visayan, is a revered healing hut in Cantabon, Siquijor. Founded by esteemed traditional healer Juanita Torremocha, it offers visitors a rare opportunity to experience indigenous healing practices deeply rooted in the island’s mystical culture.

​

One of its most sacred rituals is Tuob, or fumigation—a cleansing ceremony that uses ashes collected exclusively on Black Saturday, combined with medicinal herbs, to dispel ailments and negative energies.

​

Beyond Tuob, Balay Pahauli specializes in hilot massage therapy, an ancient healing technique that restores both physical and spiritual well-being. Visitors can also explore a selection of herbal medicines, amulets, and love potions, all crafted from local ingredients that reflect Siquijor’s rich healing heritage.

​

A visit to Balay Pahauli offers more than just treatment, it’s a journey into the island’s ancestral wisdom, where nature and spirituality intertwine to provide a truly restorative experience.
