Beej Mehndi - Mehendi Beej - Henna Seeds - Lawsonia inermis by IndianJadiBooti

What is Beej Mehndi (Henna Seeds):
 Henna is a natural dye made from the leaves of the Lawsonia Inermis plant. It was first used by the ancient Egyptians and has been used in various cultures ever since. Henna is primarily used to color hair and skin, but it can also be used to color fabric, and is often featured in ornate patterns on bodies.

The dye is activated when lawsone molecules are released from the crushed leaves, so henna is commonly sold as powdered leaf that is then mixed with mildly acidic liquid when it is prepared for use. The dye originally stains the skin orange, darkening to a reddish brown over the course of three days. The dye will ultimately fade once the dyed skin cells are shed. Henna booths are popular at public events such as fairs and festivals, particularly those with a hippy or Bohemian influence. Henna can be seen as a beard dye, and its use is associated in various ways with marriage rituals.

Henna is one of the most popular plants in the world, but it can take a while to germinate. Seeds don't always sprout right away, and they often take a while to get going. This happens because henna seeds are slow to germinate and often require warmth to get growing.

Henna needs warm temperatures for growth. If you want your henna seeds to thrive, you'll want to keep them at about 70 degrees Fahrenheit at all times of year—even during winter! After you've grown your seeds indoors for a few weeks, put them in an airtight container and put it in the fridge for several days. Next remove the bag from the fridge and sow your seeds in a well-draining fertile soil barely covering them. \

A commercial cactus soil mix is suitable for henna seeds. Keep your sown seeds constantly warm until germination begins. Provide bright light. Seedlings can be moved outdoors to the ground at about 5 months of age (this is when they should be planted outdoors). Be sure to fertilize the ground well with plenty of organic matter so that your plants can withstand drought well.

Uses & benefits:
The seed of the henna plant contains tannins, which contribute to the rich coloring of henna. The natural leaves of the plant are rich in proteins and antioxidants that support hair health.

Henna is sometimes applied directly to the affected area for dandruff, eczema, scabies, fungal infections, and wounds. In manufacturing, henna is used in cosmetics, hair dyes, and hair care products; and as a dye for nails, hands, and clothing. People also use henna on the skin as temporary “tattoos.” It is an all-natural solution for your problems with premature graying. It's loaded with tannins and vitamin E to soften your hair while providing its natural color.
