The word henna is an all encompassing word referring to each phase of henna usage. Henna is the common name of the plant Lawsonia inermis. Henna also refers to the powder made from the dried crushed leaves of the plant, the resulting paste made from the powder, the art designs, the painted paste design on one’s skin, and finally the resulting stain on one’s skin.

The henna plant is indigenous to northern Africa and southern Asia though, predominantly cultivate in Rajasthan, India. Henna has been used by humans for thousands of years medicinally, as a dye of the skin, hair, nails, and in textiles. Henna is typically applied to the skin as a blessing, for luck, and beautification and is typically part of celebrations in many cultures.

I use only 100% natural ingredients in my henna paste recipe including lemon juice, cajuput, clove, lavender, eucalyptus, and tea tree essential oils. I use only the freshest, high potency henna powder available with organic ingredients when possible.

Most who are familiar with henna have seen the traditional designs. These beautifully intricate patterns are similar to those used for the marriage ceremonies and other rituals. They usually adorn the hands and feet of the wearer, and require that they remain still for many hours to apply the paste and then allow it to dry. Henna color has been known to take best to the hands and feet due to their dry properties which soak up and hold the color
better, but henna can be applied anywhere. How well your skin takes to the henna will depend on each individual's skin properties.

Today, henna has been done in many forms including more conte
mporary designs. Some contemplating a permanent tattoo might apply henna first to see if they like the look before making a permanent decision. Some just enjoy having a temporary design they know will wash off in a few weeks. Whatever your reasons might be for being interested in henna, you are delving into a beautiful form of art rich in culture.

Henna is traditionally used for special occasions like holidays, birthdays and weddings in Africa, Pakistan, India, and the Middle East.  The most popular of the traditions is the Mehndi (henna) Night where the bride, her family, relatives and friends get together to celebrate the wedding to come.  The night is filled with games, music and dance performances that may have been rehearsed for months prior to the event by those closest to the bride while the bride gets extensive henna patterns done on her hands and feet that go to her elbows and sometimes, knees.  The bridal patterns can take hours and are often done by multilpe henna artists.  The guests will usually recieve small designs(tattoos) on the backs of their hands as well.

Today, brides prefer to have their henna done prior to the mehndi night so that they can enjoy the festivities and also have a deeper stain by the wedding day.

Tradition holds that for as long as the henna stain appears on the bride, she doesn't have to do any housework!  Also, the darker the stain the better the marriage and the better the mother-in-law will be!  So you can imagine why the bride would want the stain to come our dark and last as long as possible!
