What is Henna?
Henna is a coloring agent made from the green leaves of a henna plant (Lawsonia Alba or Lawsonia Inermis) which, when mixed with ingredients like lemon and essential oils, forms a paste. Artists use henna to paint intricate designs on the body, usually the hands and feet, in an artform known as Mehndi. "Henna is most known today for its history in India. It is still used in religious and ritualistic ceremonies in India, but has also gained appreciation in other countries as a beautiful art to be appreciated at any time." - Karen Hudson, Part 1: Introduction to Henna and Mehndi
