I tried grinding up a few leaves and smooshing them together with
lemon juice but couldn't get a stain out of them at all! Maybe I did
get swindled. You'd think that living in the Middle East the people
who sell plants would know what a henna plant is! On the other hand,
maybe my plant isn't old enough - I read in "Henna From Head to Toe"
that it takes three years for the plant to mature. Maybe the leaves
don't stain until it's mature. Or maybe it's not the right time of
year? Maybe it needs to flower first? Or maybe I didn't grind the
leaves up enough - I tried by hand because there were too few to use
the food processor. OR maybe I just have no clue what I'm doing! I'll
keep at it and maybe check some other plant stores around here.
