Health and Beauty: In Praise of Javanese Herbs

The life long beauty of Javanese women is legendary and none more so than the ladies of the former Royal Courts who used health and beauty preparations from natural products. The secrets of the  recipes were withheld from the world for more than 300 years. Recipes that were responsible for the flawless velvety skins; toned bodies and radiant health of Javanese Royalty.

In modern times the Royal Courts exist only in terms of heredity and the secret formulas have been revealed to cutting-edge health and beauty companies. They have achieved the coveted ISO 9001 Certificate with their state of the art presentation and production of the former Royals only preparations.

In Praise of Javanese Herbs: Twin Lotus are pleased to present some of their products for your consideration.

Who can I tell of wonders seen by me
Within the Royal Palace walls; of Patchouli,
Ylang Ylang, Curcuma, Rose; the ecstasy
Of nature’s beauty blends for only Royalty.

The Palace Garden; Paradise within this land;
Soft, warm, the gentle breeze caressed the Hand
Maids slender, gliding forms, entranced with Jasmine and
Of Neroli, whose vapours elevate the troubled mind.

Toward mesmeric sounds of water trickling down
Into a pool, exotic blossoms floating all around,
Wherein I saw the fabled Majesty; I’d found
The Princess of my dreams; enchantment filled my mind.

The beauteous outline of her golden regal face
Surmounted by her locks of midnight shining lace.
Bejewelled with tilted angled eyes, black jades
Above the promise of her crimson crescent lips.

Beguiled, entranced me with celestial joy,
As maidens skilled with artistry of nature’s oils
Anoint her form; create her beauty with their toil,
And subtle blends of herbs and spice; the secrets of the Royals.
