Description: Henna is a small, evergreen shrub native to North Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia, typically growing 1–6 metres tall with slender branches and elongated, lance-shaped green leaves. The plant produces small, fragrant white to pale pink flowers in clusters during summer, and the leaves are harvested at full maturity to retain their natural green colour, structure, and aroma.
After harvesting, the leaves are carefully cleaned to remove stems, dust, and foreign material. The leaves are then air-dried or dried under controlled low-temperature conditions to preserve their colour, texture, and characteristic aroma. Once dried, the leaves are kept whole to maintain their natural shape, size, and visual integrity.
The whole leaves are sorted to remove broken fragments, dust, and fines, resulting in a clean, free-flowing botanical ingredient. This ensures consistency, ease of handling, and suitability for storage or blending in applications where intact leaves are preferred.
Uses: Henna Leaves Whole are used in herbal and botanical blends, tea-style infusions, craft projects, decorative herb displays, cosmetic formulations, hair colouring preparations, and educational herb collections. The whole leaves provide natural texture, colour, and structure, making them ideal for infusions, blended herbal preparations, and applications where intact leaves are preferred for visual and functional purposes.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
