: I brought this up in an earlier thread and i think it got lost in
the
: onward motion of other discussions. My question/suggestion is this:
: what have you all discovered as to the longevity of the stain when
: using camphor in your henna paste? I ask this of all of you who

I experimented with a Campho-phenique knock-off (Eckerds brand) that
contained camphor, phenol, citric acid, and eucalyptus oil. I used
some bodyartsupply.com henna. Mixed to paste with lemon/tea. One
hour spot test with no cover yielded a sastifactory orange stain. Let
paste sit for 6 hours. Added a few drops of campho-phenique knock-off
right before applying small design to top of foot which normally
stains easily. Covered with lemon/sugar/mask and "Did my M.A.T.H".
Slept and woke up to find the faintest stain I've ever seen. I've had
milk stains darker than that :) What the &%$#??? Any ideas what went
wrong? Am I still asleep...is this some horrible nightmare where my
skin has become impervious to henna...eeeeeeeekkkkk! Some body pinch
me!
