Bulk Herbs: Henna leaf (black) - powder

Henna is best known as a natural dye for the hair. Our research has shown that henna not only colors hair, but its conditioning properties help bring body, life and vibrancy back to dry or damaged hair. Henna permeates the hair shaft to strengthen and enrich your hair, giving it a distinctive, natural radiance not found with chemical-based coloring. You also may want to try henna on fungal infections. The leaf contains the compound lawsone, which is active against many fungi and bacteria. Make a strong decoction by simmering five to seven teaspoons of henna per cup of water for about 20 minutes. Allow it to cool and apply the liquid to the affected area one to three times a day with a cotton ball or clean cloth.

This is a blend of: Lawsonia inermis (86%) and Indigo (14%)

From Our Reading and/or Experience...

• Henna can be used to benefit anyone: men, women (including before, during or after pregnancy, and nursing), children and animals.
• It can be used as often as you would like, and in any way you choose.
• As is the case with most herbs, Henna should be stored in a dark, dry, and cool place.
