HENNA, INDIGO AND AMLA
Lawsonia Inermis
(Henna)
(Henna)
Henna, otherwise known as Lawsonia Inermis, comes from a plant of the privet family, and has been known for 5,000 years for its superb hair conditioning and colouring properties. No other substance, whether natural or synthetic, will strengthen the hair and give it shine as effectively as HENNA. Henna contains "lawsonia". This substance provides the well-known conditioning and colouring properties associated with Henna Powders.
Henna Powder colours the hair in two ways; by penetration and by staining. Henna molecules have a chemical affinity with keratin (hair) molecules, and thus the pigment can pass freely into the hair. The penetration of lawsonia imparts colour and condition into the hair. It closes and strengthens the outer cuticle of the hair, thus giving the superb shine and conditioning effect, which is the unique feature of Henna.
People have used Henna, Indigo, and Cassia Obovata, to dye and condition their hair for thousands of years. These are all safe, natural, and make your hair beautiful and healthy. If you don't want to use dangerous para-phenylenediamine and formaldehyde products that are in commercial hair dyes and conditioners, use Henna, Indigo and Cassia Obovata to dye your hair.
Use Henna to dye your hair red or auburn beautifully, safely, naturally
Use Indigo to dye your hair black, beautifully, safely, naturally
Use Cassia Obovata to condition your hair, beautifully, safely, naturally

Emblica Officinalis
(Amla)
If you have a box of brown powder marked "Amla" (also called "Amalaki" and "Indian Gooseberry"), you have a box of the powdered dried fruit (perhaps with some twigs, leaves and bark mixed in) of the Emblica Officinalis tree.
Medicinal properties -
The medicinal properties of Amla have been widely mentioned by many experts. The fruits are diuretic and laxative. They are useful in the disorders associated with the digestive system and are also prescribed in the treatment of jaundice and coughs.
Amla is one of the three ingredients of the famous ayurvedic preparation, triphala, which is given to treat chronic dysentery, bilousness and other disorders. The plant is considered to be an effective antiseptic for cleaning wounds and it is also one of the many plant palliatives for snakebite and scorpion-stinging.
The leaves of Amla are used as mouth-wash and as a lotion for sore eyes. An ointment is made from the burnt seeds, and the oil obtained is applied to cure skin infections.
Amla powder is tan and has an acidic astringent smell like a combination of raw cranberries and oak tree bark. If you make a simple paste from the powder, it does not stain the hands but adds a cool brown tone to the hair colour. Emblica Officinalis is one of the Myrobalan species, all of which are used in tanning and natural colouring.
The paste is an excellent conditioner which makes hair glossy and silky, enhances waves and curl, and leaves a clean, healthy scalp. When you scrub your face with the paste, your skin feels firm and tight.
Use for Hair:
Mix Amla powder with Indigo powder when dyeing hair black with Indigo to add gloss and curl to Indigo dyed hair.
A Suggestion - Use for Skin:
Mix Amla powder with hot water to make a paste that is about the consistency of yogurt. Let that sit for fifteen minutes. Use the paste as an exfoliating, astringent scrub for your face.
Indigofera Tinctoria
(Indigo)
Regardless of its origin, all indigo has the same chemical structure. The majority of natural indigo is obtained from plants in the genus Indigofera. These plants, native to the tropics, yield more natural dye than other indigo bearing species. Indigofera is a large genus including over 350 species mostly found in tropical and subtropical countries, not all of which bear Indigo. The primary commercial Indigo species is Indigofera tinctoria, native to India and Asia. In Central and South America the two species Indigofera suffructicosa and Indigofera arrecta are the most important native dye bearing plants of the genus.

Indigofera Tinctoria
(Indigo)
Indigo is the color on the spectrum between about 450 and 420 nm in wavelength, placing it between blue and violet. Color scientists do not usually recognize indigo as a significant color category, and generally classify wavelengths shorter than about 450 nm as violet.
Indigo and violet are different from purple, which cannot be seen on the electromagnetic spectrum but can be achieved by mixing blue light with red light.
Where does Indigo Comes From?Regardless of its origin, all indigo has the same chemical structure. The majority of natural indigo is obtained from plants in the genus Indigofera. These plants, native to the tropics, yield more natural dye than other indigo bearing species.
