Henna is an open shrub with heavily scented, small cream flowers and blue
black fruit.
Uses
Henna leaves yield the famous red dye used as body paint, and to stain
hair, nails, cloth, and sometimes the manes of white arab horses. The
cooling, astringent leaves soothe fevers, headaches, stings, aching joints,
and skin irritations. The leaves are also deodorisers, carried under the arm
by rabbiis, and recommended in apina's medieval herbals to treat "evil-smelling
feet". The bark, leaves, and fruit are used in folk medicine. The
flowers scented oil, is an Indian and African perfume and is used in Arab
religious festivals.
Remark
The flower scent was known as "Camphire" in the bible, and was
the source of Cleopatra's famous seductive perfume, cyprinum, used to soak
the sails of her barge before her first meeting with Antony.
Henna
Fragrant Henna has many facets to its enchanting side. Apart from being
considered auspicious, it is a symbol of age old Indian traditions. Henna is
popular for it's natural values, colouring and cooling effect, and pleasant
fragrance. In homes, the green henna leaves are gathered and then dried in
the shade. Finely grounded powder is mixed with water to make a paste. This
paste is applied on hands in beautiful patterns and then left to dry,
resulting in a deep red colour, which leaves you mesmerised with its sheer
charm.
Henna in pure form without any additives is known as natural henna. Natural
henna also has colouring effect , but the colour is not very deep. Dyeing
with natural henna produces a brownish red hue. It is perfectly safe and has
no ill effects, which is the main reason for its popularity. India is one of
the major producers of Henna.

gives a reddish tinge to the hair colour. To avoid this, a special form of

as a benediction.
