A herbal care company in India is to combine its 24-c gold herbal range with a further expansion of its ayurvedic medicine production, it has revealed.

JR Herbal Care India, which makes the Jovees range of herbal cosmetics, has said it is looking for four new locations to establish plants across the country, the Financial Chronicle reports.

Noting that these need to be close to the sources of its ayurvedic medicines, the firm's head of business Rakesh Misri commented: "We are looking at places which offer good quality medicinal plants and herbs to make herbal cosmetics with curative properties."

The new products will be added to a range that, as well as producing 24-c gold, includes products to help care for feet, hair, lips and eyes, as well as sun care.

Recent research has suggested that combining gold with tea can improve health, a report in the Journal of Materials Chemistry has stated.

University of Missouri researchers said that the addition of gold salts to the drink could help create nanoparticles, which can then be used to destroy cancer tumours.
