Henna is a flowering plant used since antiquity to dye skin, hair, fingernails, leather and wool. The name is also used for dye preparations derived from the plant, and for the art of temporary tattooing based on those dyes.

The earliest records of henna use come from Egypt. Mummified bodies have been found with what appears to be henna–dyed hair and hennaed fingers.

Boil henna leaves in mustard oil, and massage this oil regularly for healthy growth of hair. Prepare mixture of dry Henna, water and lemon juice. Apply this paste on hair and wash after 1 hour, hair will become shiny.

The application of henna to the body is neither painful nor poisonous. Henna is used for temporary tattooing. The skin absorbs and reacts with the henna powder, causing the skin to be stained for a period of up to four weeks.

Henna is permanent on fabric or wood.
