Henna, or Lawsonia inermis, is a small bush that produces a natural red dye from its leaves. The leaves

are dried and ground into a powder, then mixed into a paste. The paste is applied to the skin in intricate

patterns leaving a reddish-brown stain known as ‘mehndi’.

Over 9,000 years old, henna use dates back to the Neolithic and Bronze Ages. It has roots in spring

fertility celebrations, was used by warrior goddesses to celebrate victories, and was useful in determining

agricultural cycles. Henna is mentioned in the Bible and is the oldest documented cosmetic. It is soothing and cooling to the skin and has been used to treat heat exhaustion, lice, and fungal infections. It has

mild antiseptic properties, and is a natural sun block.

Henna was used by the Egyptian civilization of Pharaohs, queens, and pyramids. Famous Egyptians

Nefertiti and Cleopatra were known to have used henna on their skin and hair. Traces have even been

found on ancient mummies and their hair!

The ancient Eastern art of mehndi has been used in cultural and religious practices by Christians, Jews,

Hindus, and Muslims. Henna is currently used in over sixty countries including regions of India, Morocco, the Middle East and Mediterranean, Africa, South China, and Southeast Asia. The Prophet Muhammed dyed his beard with henna and his daughter, Fatima, dyed her hands with it.
