Mehandi - Its a temporary form of skin decoration mainly done for brides in South East Asia, India, Pakistan and parts of Africa. It is also called Henna Tattoo which is inaccurate as tattoos are defined as permanent surgical insertion of pigments underneath the skin, as opposed to pigments resting on the surface as is the case with mehandi.
Mehandi application to skin came into custom for 2 reasons :
1) The color
2) The medical qualities
Mehandi color:
The color left behind after the removal of the paste is generally bright orange or dark red. It stays for a duration of minimum 4 days to max one and a half weeks. The color also depends upon the internal body heat and other characteristics.
Mehandi Medical Qualities:
It is supposed to soothe the skin and also reduce the internal heat of the body. When it is applied to hair it is supposed to nourish the hair and also make it healthy. When the internal heat is reduced it enables lot of effects like reduction of hair fall, deep sleep, reduction of graying of hair etc.
