Might Reduce Hair Loss
For people suffering from hair loss or baldness, henna might inhibit this from happening. The traditional mixture is putting henna juice or oil into curds and then mixing this into your hair, as it might increase the efficiency of the treatment.

Might Improve the Nail Quality
People often forget about maintaining healthy nails, but the cuticles and space under the nails are prime locations for infection and bacterial presence; therefore, treating your nails with henna might be a wise choice. Drinking the water in which leaves have been steeped may help prevent nails from cracking and might reduce inflammation. Applying a poultice directly to the nail beds might clear up irritation, pain, and infection in the nail beds.

May have Anti-aging Properties
Although the antioxidant capacity of henna has not been widely studied, the oil has maybe an astringent, which has led some people to use its juice and oil on the skin to reduce the signs of aging and wrinkles, as well as the unsightly appearance of scars and other blemishes. This is complemented by the possible antiviral and antibacterial effects that can protect the body’s largest organ, skin!

Might Heal Wounds
One of the most notable uses of henna is for the possibility of protecting the skin against infections and eliminating inflammation. It can be applied to burns, wounds, and scrapes for generations, not only because it might add a protective layer against foreign pathogens and substances, but also because it might have natural cooling abilities that suck the heat from the skin. This might make it very useful for sunburns, in a similar capacity as aloe vera gel.

Might Reduce Fever
Henna also might bring down fevers due to its possible antipyretic properties, according to Ayurvedic traditions. When people are suffering from very high fevers as a secondary symptom of another condition, that rise in temperature throughout the body can be dangerous for organ function and metabolic processes. Bringing the overall temperature of the body down is essential, and henna might be able to accomplish this by either inducing sweating and effectively breaking the fever, or simply cooling the body and providing some relief.

Might be Anti-inflammatory
The juice of the henna plant is not always praised as being particularly beneficial, but in fact, the juice of the plant can be directly applied to the skin for fast relief from headaches. The possible anti-inflammatory effects of the compounds found in henna might help it reduce that tension and promote healthy blood flow in the capillaries, which is a common cause of headaches and migraines. A rat model revealed that the anti-inflammatory effect of the henna extract was similar to the drug phenylbutazone, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Henna oil might also be used topically for arthritic and rheumatic pains.

May Reduce Sleep Issues
Henna oil may help alleviate certain sleep disorders, so if you are suffering from insomnia or chronic restlessness, adding a bit of this oil to your herbal regimen can get you back into a regular, restful schedule of sleep by soothing the body and mind into a relaxed state before sleep.

Detoxification
By soaking the bark or leaves of the henna plant in water and then consuming the consequent liquid might have been connected to improved spleen and liver health. The liver works as a crucial level of protection for the body and helps to eliminate the toxins that accrue in the body. By optimizing its function and ensuring its health, you can prevent a wide range of other health conditions. However, it is advisable to check with your health advisor or a licensed herbalist before ingesting any henna product.
