Henna, is also used to color hair. i read lucille ball say some time before she died, that she was afraid of out-living her henna supply. she must have been stocked!!

i saw one of the old i-love-lucy episodes where she thought there was a fire in her apartment and was throwing out two big gallon jugs clearly marked "henna" on them. i assume in an effort to save them-and in hindsight perhaps as a laugh on her real life.

i believe, but could be mistaken that it is also used in tattooing, such as some do in india. (apparently in several countries-and from antiquity. gives new meaning as to one reason God forbade it to the israelites.)
