Henna is a natural product from a flowering plant found in the desert areas of Africa and the Middle East. When henna was introduced to India the practice of using henna as a temporary skin dye evolved into a decorative art form called mehndi.
Mehndi is a Hindu word that means applying henna as temporary body art. Henna is most frequently applied to the palms and feet. The skin in these areas contains high levels of keratin which reacts with the coloring agent in henna creating the most vivid designs. One of the reasons mehndi became popular in hot climates is due to its cooling therapeutic effect.
Unlike peel off temporary tattoos, you can’t quickly wash off henna body art. Instead the stain gradually fades away as your skin naturally exfoliates. Most people find their mehndi body art lasts about 10 days to 2 weeks. Using your bare hands to dig in the garden will shorten the life of your henna design.
Because henna is a plant, a slight possibility exists for an allergic reaction. In its 5,000 years of use a negative reaction has rarely occurred, but if you have doubts be sure to do a skin test first.
