Kencur (Indonesian Ginger): Similar to ginger, kencur offers a warming effect and may help alleviate pain. Clove: This aromatic spice boasts antiseptic qualities and adds a delightful fragrance to the mask. Nutmeg: Known for its calming properties, nutmeg may help ease anxiety and promote relaxation. Black Pepper: A natural stimulant, black pepper further enhances circulation and may invigorate the senses.
