Red Henna (Lawsonia inermis) is a flowering shrub or small tree
cultivated for millennia across North Africa, southern Asia, and northern
Australia. Its historical use is perhaps most well-known. Henna leaves, dried
and powdered, have been used as a natural dye for hair and skin. Evidence
suggests it colored the hair and hands of mummies in ancient Egypt. The
resulting reddish-brown stain was not just decorative; in some cultures, henna
body art served as a symbol of social status or marital status.
Medicinally, the leaves have been used to create pastes to cool
and soothe burns. Additionally, henna's antifungal and antibacterial properties
have led to its use in treating skin conditions like fungal infections and
minor wounds.
In some magick traditions, henna leaves are burned as incense
for purification or to create a protective atmosphere. Additionally, henna has
been used as a symbolic element in rituals for love, healing, and prosperity.
