And they DON'T understand that the low levels of lawsone naturallyoccurring in henna, when applied to the adult skin, are NOT a
problem?????
Pure lawsone is toxic, to get comparable effects from henna, an adult
woman would have to consume a metric ton of henna paste. These test
results were done with pure lawsone on Chinese hampsters. The results
just don't transfer to hennaed people!
