History of Henna :
From the time immemorial, the rich hues from henna plant have graced the hands, feet and hair of the men and the women with diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Ever since our inception, we have been the front-runner in spreading this age old treasure to the entire world.
We have been fascinated with our body decoration ever since we came on this earth surface. Impact of henna on this facet of our life has been so impressive that it has become a cultural phenomenon in itself.
'Henna' (Lawsonia inermis, syn. L. alba) is a flowering plant, the sole species in the genus Lawsonia in the family Lythraceae.
It is native to tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, southern Asia and northern Australasia and is a fruit with 6-8mm diameter, containing numerous 1-2.5 mm seeds.
There is much speculation as to the first origin of the use of henna.
What is known for sure is that henna has been used as a cosmetic, as well as for its supposed healing properties for
at least 5000 years.
Centuries of migration and cultural interaction has made it difficult to determine with absolute certainty where the tradition began. Some scholars claim that the earliest documentations of henna use were found in ancient Indian texts and images, indicating that mehandi as an art-form may have originated in ancient India .
Others, however, state that the use of henna was taken to India by the
Mughals
in the 12th Century, centuries after use in the Middle East and North Africa. Still others insist that the tradition of mehandi originated in North Africa and the Middle Eastern countries during ancient times.
Henna use has also been documented in ancient Egypt, where it is known to have been used to stain the fingers and toes of the Pharaohs prior to mummification. It is also possible that the similar use of henna for skin decoration in these regions arose independently and perhaps simultaneously, and this could account for the difficulty in pinpointing an exact birthplace of mehandi art.
