Healing Herb of the Week: Henna

 

This fragrant herb yields a dark-red dye that was popular among

Egyptian women and is still used in chemical-free brown or chestnut

hair dyes. It was also used in other cosmetics and for dying fabric.

Renowned botanist Dr. James A. Duke reports that mummies exhumed after

3,000 years in a tomb still had traces of henna dye on their nails!

Henna contains lawsone, an active antibacterial and fungicide often

used to treat fungal infections of the nails.
