Bringing back the dead, with terpines

This weekend my henna assistant brought a defrosted bottle of paste
to our street event; we mixed it up about a year ago for a demo and
she just threw it in the freezer and forgot about it. She brought it
to the event and added about 20 drops of cajeput to the paste.

She did some designs on her wrist and fingers and we were amazed to
see color after 10 minutes (pretty bright orange, tho not as bright
as with fresh paste with terps after 10 minutes). It darkened to a
light brown in 36 hours. The color wasn't anything that you couldn't
get with regular fresh paste without terpines, but it was amazing if
you consider how old the paste was.

Again more ideas for experiments to see if cajeput can resurrect old
pastes that have been frozen for a few weeks. The color might be
good enough for clients.
