I saw a toxicity report on henna which I believe came from the FDA or
some official-type organization, but it was a long time ago. It may
have been on Mehendi Mud's site? Possibly Earth Henna, it was before
I was comfortable mixing my own so it would have been an american-
made premix site. Anyway, it says very clearly that henna itself is
nontoxic.

And if you need editors, I volunteer. I make mistakes when I type too
fast but I'm great at proofreading.

: I'd love to know for the FDA rant:
:
: I need links to or copies of EVERY medical article that
specifically
: did the test that shows that PPD was the percipitator of the
reaction
: to a black henna ... and that henna was NOT the percipatator!
:
: I need copies of any medical paper that details a henna allergy
: reaction.
:
: I need copies of any medical paper that details a PPD reacion.
:
:
: Which legislators have a particular interest in getting votes (or
$)
: from B'hai, Muslim, Hindu and other ethnic groups of henna using
: countries.
:
: Which ones are keen to preserve religious freedom, ethnic
diversity,
: indigenous cultures, and are interested in reading stuff about
: government agencies which may infringe on such.
:
: Which ones have relationships with the FDA.
:
: Which ones feel that women's traditions, women's history and
women's
: indigenous cultures are worth preserving.
:
: There's been a Congressional resolution passed to respect Muslims
and
: Islam, and their culture and traditions, and I intend to play that
: card. Specific references to henna in Muslim religious texts would
be
: most helpful.
:
:
: I could use case numbers of lawsuits that ended in protecting
ethnics
: rights to indigenous healing practices (such as moxibustion, native
: Amerian practices, etc).
:
: I could use case numbers of lawsuits that ended in protecting the
: social practices surrounding religious holidays of ethnic
minorities.
:
: Email me privately....
:
: also ... anyone who has primo editing skills and a legal mind ....
I
: need a few editors! Youall know I think fuzzy, have rotten
spelling,
: and never did learn to punctuate....
