More about henna
Henna Art is a century old tradition of body adornment and beautification which has been dated back as far as ancient Egypt in the tombs of the Pharoahs. This ancient art form has travelled the paths of time, through many cultures and continents to reach us here in Australia in the 21st century.
Henna art covers the globe and is constantly changing and evolving to become part of peoples every day life. It carries with it good luck and Baraka (blessedness), so whoever wears or delves into this art will always be with good fortune.
Henna its self is actually a plant or shrub which grows in the desert. At the Henna Tent we source our henna from Rajasthan, India. Rajasthan is world famous for having the best staining henna and this is because it has a hot and dry climate. The henna plant thrives in this climate and the less water it receives the stronger the concentration of henna colour ( known as lawsone) you will find in the leaves. The leaves are where we get the colour from and by crushing them up into a fine powder and mixing this with tea and some selected essential oils you can make a paste that can be applied to the skin to make patterns that will last a few weeks.
Our henna is harvested once a year and is referred to as the SUMMER crop. Many people say that henna is planted all year round and that different seasons give different colour strength. While this may or may not be true..... I know for certain that our farmers harvest just once a year. Why? Because the best time for growing henna is over the summer. Our farmers are lead by Botanists who are passionate about sustainable farming, agriculture and organic processes. They companion plant the henna with Ayurvedic medicinal plants and other plant specices that are beneficial for each other. This is how we can offer you the best Organic Henna in Australia.
