DESCRIPTION

Plant Profile
Lawsonia inermis is popularly known as Henna or Mehndi. It is a versatile, perennial, multi-branched shrub or small tree. It belongs to the family Lythraceae. It typically reaches heights of 2 to 6 meters. The leaves are small, opposite, elliptical to lanceolate. Each leaf measures approximately 1.5–5 cm in length. The plant also produces clusters of small, fragrant, four-petaled flowers. The color ranges from white to pinkish-red. It also forms small, globose, brownish fruit capsules containing numerous seeds. The species is native to the semi-arid and tropical regions of North and East Africa and South Asia. Today, it is widely cultivated commercially. India is the main producer. Particularly in the Sojat region of Rajasthan. The plant is valued for its cosmetic, medicinal, and ornamental properties.

Healthcare Perspective
In traditional healthcare systems, Lawsonia inermis is highly valued. In Ayurveda, it is called Mendhika. It is mainly used to balance the Pitta dosha. Practitioners traditionally apply leaf paste to the palms and soles. This is done to relieve burning sensations. It is also used to reduce internal body heat. Historical Ayurvedic texts mention thsi plant. These include the Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita. They mention the plants use for managing conditions like jaundice and skin-related issues. Similarly, in Siddha the leaves and seeds are often processed into oils or decoctions. These preparations are used for hair loss, dandruff, and certain digestive disturbances. This reflects its widespread integration into ethnomedicinal history. Its use is widespread across Asia and the Middle East.

Phytochemical Composition
The chemical profile of Lawsonia inermis includes many bioactive secondary metabolites. The most prominent being the naphthoquinone derivative known as lawsone (2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone). It is found primarily in the leaf petioles. Lawsone is responsible for the plant’s characteristic orange-red dyeing properties. It is also associated to antimicrobial and antioxidant effects. The leaves are rich in polyphenols and flavonoids. Including luteolin, apigenin, and quercetin, which contribute to the plant’s anti-inflammatory profile. The presence of tannins (specifically hennotannic acid) provides its potent astringent qualities. Other constituents including coumarins (like lacoumarin) and triterpenoids (such as lupeol and betulinic acid). Sterols (like beta-sitosterol) add further diversify its biological activity. Additionally, the leaves contain essential fatty acids. Alpha-linolenic acid is the most notable one. They also contain a variety of glycosides and xanthones. All of these contribute to the plant's traditional and pharmacological applications.
