Mendhi is the name given to the intricate & decorative application of Henna. In the past it has been used traditionally by Asian brides to symbolise love, fertility & prosperity. However, in recent years it has fused from traditional use into a new trendy & chic form of body art, which is now widely recognised around the globe.Historically Henna originates from Asia. It has been used for centuries by Hindus, Muslims, Morrocans and many more ethnicities. In ancient times it was used as an effective treatment of small pox.
The traditional application of Henna to hands has for many years been used for symbolic purposes. Recent years have seen its usage span from treatment of minor skin disorders to the stimulation of hair growth. Henna is now widely used for beauty purposes i.e. colouring the hair and body art/tattooing. It can now be combined with jewels and coloured glitter to accentuate its delicate splendour.
And there's so much more.
