Have never come across this henna but as it was black henna she was
using then it is likely it either contained ppd...a form of ppd or
bleaching agents which are just as bad!

The coroners report would never hold any weight against henna itself
as this was made on the account of her last words. What springs to
mind is how they can blame this on henna...but miss out the fact that
the henna was mixed with ppd or some other know toxic substance.
