Henna

Henna is a natural plant-based dye made from the powdered leaves of the henna plant (Lawsonia inermis). When mixed with liquid, it creates a smooth paste that is applied to the skin to create intricate designs or symbolic markings. As the paste dries and is removed, it leaves behind a temporary stain ranging from warm orange to deep reddish-brown, which continues to deepen over the first 24–48 hours and typically lasts 1–3 weeks, depending on skin type and care.

Henna has been used for thousands of years across many cultures for celebration, ritual, protection, and self-expression—often marking special occasions such as weddings, rites of passage, and seasonal festivals. Beyond its beauty, henna is known for its cooling and calming properties, traditionally believed to soothe the body, relax the nervous system, and invite a sense of grounding and mindfulness during application.

In a modern wellness setting, henna is often embraced as a form of intentional body art—a slow, meditative practice that encourages presence, creativity, and connection to self. Each design can carry personal meaning, making henna both a visual adornment and a meaningful energetic experience.
