SURAKARTA, Central Java: Gusti Kanjeng Raden Ayu Indriyah, the younger sister of Surakarta Sultan Sunan Paku Buwono XIII, is starring in a TV commercial advertising a traditional herbal medicine produced by Semarang-based company PT Nyonya Meneer.

Although already 45, Indriyah, a mother of one, still looks fresh and beautiful.

""Thanks to the jamu I routinely take,"" the princess told The Jakarta Post recently, using the Indonesian name for traditional herbal medicine.

The product being plugged by the princess, which is marketed as Jamu Awet Ayu Nyonya Meneer, is advertised as being able ""to maintain and energize one's beauty"".

Indriyah said she had been taking herbal medicine since a teenager. Back then her mother prepared the jamu.

""I have tried many products, but so far I have found the products of Nyonya Meneer best suit my needs,"" she said. ""If I were an expert at jamu making, I would surely have my own production factory.""

She says she takes jamu with her wherever she goes. ""Even when I stayed in Washington DC, jamu was always there on my daily menu."" -- JP
