How it works
Once applied henna paste will stay on the skin for 3-12 hours, gradually falling off throughout this time. The longer the paste is on the skin, the darker the design will be, and the longer it will last.  After the paste falls off the design will be lighter orange, darkening to full color over the next 48 hours.

Henna colors the skin in a range of beautiful reddish browns.  Color and life of henna design depend on skin type and placement.  Most parts of the body will last 2 weeks. Closer to the hands and feet will last longer and get darker.  Palms and soles will last the longest, usually 4 weeks or more.

History:

Henna is a 100% natural plant dye that is made from the leaves of the henna shrub. The word "Henna" comes from the Arabic name Hina for Lawsonia inermis.

In the Bible; in Song of Songs and Song of Solomon, henna is referred to as Camphire.

 

 

It has been used for over 5000 years to decorate skin with beautiful reddish brown designs.  Traditionally used in India, the Middle East, and Northern Africa for weddings and celebrations.

Brides are decorated for hours by friends and family for her upcoming wedding.  The wedding party is also decorated for the celebration.

 

Henna is also traditionally used to decorate pregnant bellies as a blessing to mother and baby for safe birthing and celebration of new life.

Henna is widely used as a natural hair dye, as well as included in many shampoos and conditioners for its lustrous shine and conditioning properties.

Used in many parts of the world as a powerful natural antifungal.  (We have cured 3 fungal infections on friends and family with the use of only natural henna paste).

Other uses for henna include; skin conditioner, sun block, cooling agent, and even headache relief. To protect from chaffing and blistering net fisherman condition the palms of their hands with henna. Used as a sun block, usually to protect uncovered hands and feet from harsh sun exposure.  Also used as a cooling agent for walking barefoot on hot sand and pavement.  A poultice of henna paste can be made to relieve head aches and other minor ailments.

Henna has been used widely for thousands of years for decorations and celebrations as well as more practical medicinal uses.  That’s one useful plant!!!
