Henna takes into the world of mysterious and great traditions.
In the Indian Subcontinent the word 'mehndi' is used, whereas in the Arab and Western world 'henna' is the widely known expression for this type of art.
The tradition of henna body art goes beyond borders, and, although at different levels, can be found in the Bible, in the Jewish ceremonies and Muslim traditions as well.
Henna has been used to adorn young women's bodies as part of social and holiday celebrations since the late Bronze Age in the eastern Mediterranean. The earliest text mentions henna in the context of marriage and fertility celebrations.
According to the oldest traditions henna was only applied on the palm, however, with their gaining popularity, henna patterns nowadays are painted anywhere on the body.
