General Description:   Used for Black Henna Hair Coloring Powder and temporary tatoos. Henna is all natural, safe  to color and condition hair, recommended for women who want to free themselves from harmful chemical dyes and bleaches. Used alone or combined with other plants, Henna deepens and highlights the natural hair color and improves the general hair health. Indigofera tinctoria bears the common name True indigo. The plant was one of the original sources of indigo dye. It has been naturalized to tropical and temperate Asia, as well as parts of Africa, but its native habitat is unknown since it has been in cultivation worldwide for many centuries. Today most dye is synthetic, but dye from Indigo tinctoria is still available, marketed as natural coloring. The plant is also widely grown as a soil-improving groundcover.True indigo is a shrub one to two meters high. It may be an annual, biennial, or perennial, depending on the climate in which it is grown. It has light green pinnate leaves and sheafs of pink or violet flowers. The plant is a legume, so it is rotated into fields to improve the soil in the same way that other legume crops such as alfalfa and beans are.Dye is obtained from the processing of the plant's leaves. They are soaked in water and fermented in order to convert the glycoside indican naturally present in the plant to the blue dye indigotin. The precipitate from the fermented leaf solution is mixed with a strong base such as lye, pressed into cakes, dried, and powdered. The powder is then mixed with various other substances to produce different shades of blue and purple.

Safety:  Avoid Rubbing Into Eyes, Rinse Thoroughly with warm water. For external use only. . KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

STATEMENT OF INTENT:

I practice traditional herbalism, not allopathic medicine. I ask my clients to exercise their health freedoms responsibly, and to agree that you understand that I am not an allopathic medical practitioner. I also ask that clients use herbs as directed. Herbs work best when integrated with all other habits which support health and healing. Such directives may include diet changes, getting needed rest (particularly for children), avoiding toxic environments, avoiding improper combinations of pharmaceutical drugs with food and herbs, and seeking adjunct and necessary therapies and practices for optimal health. Herbs and herbal formulas and products are discussed on this web site solely within the context of the field of traditional herbal arts and sciences, and not within the context of allopathic medical practice.

While I do not dispense health consultations over the phone, you may e-mail me at herbalist@cox.net to discuss any specific needs you may have for herbal and natural therapies. It is probable that what you need can be custom made; in fact, much of the private practice work requires custom formulas.
