The ritual painting and decorating of the human body began in pre-history and henna as a tool for this art was particularly prevalent in the cultures of North Africa and the Middle East. From here it spread to South Asia. Over the centures it has developed to become an intricate art form rich in symbolism. Also known as “mendhi” , it is a mark of prosperity, fortune and happiness and is used to celebrate weddings and births and at festivals of Teej, Diwali and Id.

In modern times, celebraties such as Madonna, Sting and his wife Trudie Styler, Elijah Wood (Lord of the Rings), Gwen Stefani have brought henna into vogue.

Henna or “lawsonia inermis” is a shrub that can grow up to 7 m high at its tallest with a greyish brown bark. Its wood is close grained and hard with almond shaped leaves, brown pea-sized seeds spherical in shape and sweet scented creamy-white flowers.

       The whole henna shrub is used:

• Wood to make tool handles and tent pegs
• Leaves for skin and hair dye and in traditional medicine
• Seeds and flowers for traditional medicine, oil and perfumery

For body art, the henna paste is made up of henna powder, lemon juice, sugar, tea essential oils like lavender, cajeput and tee tree, rose and sandalwood. The paste is then coned and the design is applied in the same way as caked are iced!

The final colour stain achieved is unique to each individual depending on their body heat! The warmer you are the darker your stain.
