Henna (Henna鈥�Lawsonia inermis) is a perennial shrub, whose leaves are used in medicines as well as cosmetics. A red coloured dye, extracted from the leaves of henna is used especially by women to paint their body, particularly the fingers, nails and palms. Henna is generally known by the name Madayantik膩. 惭别苍诲墨, Mendik膩 and Mahind墨 are some of its variants. We come across henna, mostly in the texts pertaining to medicines, alchemy and also in some lexicons. 厂耻艣谤耻迟补^[1], in 颁颈办颈迟蝉腻蝉迟丑腻苍补 of his text, mentions Madayantik膩 as an ingredient for the preparation of an unguent used by kings, while in 础峁ａ弓腻峁単补蝉补峁単谤补丑补^[2], henna is referred to as an ingredient of a medicine for leprosy.
