ABSTRACT:
Plants produce henna. Medicine is made from the leaf. Contrast henna with henna root, also known as alkanna root (Alkanna tinctoria). Since ancient times, nature has been a rich supply of medicinal substances. Based on the traditional medical applications of these plants, a remarkable number of contemporary pharmaceuticals have been extracted from natural sources. A common example of such a plant is henna, also known as Persian henna or Lawsonia inermis, a bushy, flowering tree that can be found in Australia, Asia, and along the Mediterranean beaches of Africa.
