The author of this book is a researcher and practitioner who delves into the relationship between modern science and Javanese cultural traditions. With a strong background in health sciences and a deep understanding of Javanese culture, the author seeks to bridge two worlds often considered separate—scientific knowledge and traditional wisdom.

In this work, the author explores the relationship between the four elements present in the human body—namely earth, water, fire, and air—from three perspectives: scientific, Javanese cultural, and general viewpoints. Through an interdisciplinary approach, the author aims to explain how the balance of these elements can be achieved for holistic health. The book offers an in-depth look at body balance practices through Javanese meditation methods such as ngrowot, kungkum, ngluwang, patigeni, and fasting.

The author also provides an analysis of how ancient Javanese traditions like tapa can be integrated with modern scientific research to offer more comprehensive solutions to health issues. It is this combination of scientific understanding and local wisdom that characterizes the book, while also reflecting the author's commitment to presenting a comprehensive approach to health for readers.

Through this work, the author hopes that readers will come to understand the importance of balancing the body and nature, and adopt practices that support mental, physical, and spiritual health in a harmonious way.
