Hi Sue, welcome to the Forum!

I have had reoccuring hand trouble in the past myself, and when I
first started using jacquard ("jac") bottles, they started coming
back. I tried carrot bags, which are easier on the hand, but couldn't
find the same precision for my own hand as the bottles. I could
probably get better at it, but havent had the spare time to perfect
the skill.

So I continue to use the jac bottles, but keep them really really
full at all times. This seemed wasteful to me at first, but I did
stop waking up with hand cramps & a thumb that was popping out of
joint so that made it worth the tablespoon of paste that never gets
used.

Also, gradually working your way up to longer lengths of time spent
hennaeing will build those muscles.

Best of luck and let us know how things go for you!
