Description

Henna Powder is a finely crushed herbal product derived from the dried leaves of the Lawsonia inermis plant, traditionally grown in the arid regions of Rajasthan, particularly Sojat. In Ayurveda, it is celebrated for its natural cooling (Sheetala) and blood-purifying properties, which help balance Pitta-related imbalances like body heat and scalp irritation. When applied to hair, the natural dye molecule Lawsone binds to the hair’s keratin to provide a rich reddish-brown tint while acting as a deep conditioner that strengthens the hair shaft and seals the cuticle. Beyond its cosmetic use for intricate bridal body art, it is effectively used to treat dandruff, prevent premature greying, and soothe minor skin conditions like burns or fungal infections due to its antimicrobial action.
