The use of henna, it is believed; began when the nomadic peoples found that their body

temperatures came down when they applied it to their skin. They then tried a simple dot

and found that it too had the same effect and from there designs began, some simple and

geometric others like those of Persia, flowery and delicate, like fine lace. Each region

had their own methods and designs, all different and yet all beautiful. Other areas wanted

a darker stain so that would go over the design 3 and 4 times to assure a near black stain.

In the Sudan they used a technique called ‘dukhan’ meaning smoke, in which after the

design has been placed on the skin the area is then placed over a smoking fire that has

been set in a hole in the ground. When the paste is brushed away the stain appears black.

One question that is often asked is why did the art of henna remain part of the Middle

Eastern culture and never make its way to the Western world, like so many other aspects

of that world. We are not completely sure, perhaps it has to do with the needs of the

seeds to grow properly, or perhaps the dried powder lost its staining ability during the

transportation, due to light or moisture. Others think that perhaps Europeans may have

been given the leaves but not told what to do with them to create the paste. For some

reason this traditional art-form only traveled within the Eastern world.
