Henna for a Summer Baby

I was very excited to be asked to do henna for a friend of mine, who is also my chiropractor! She is one amazing lady! If you ever need a chiropractor who specializes in pregnancy you NEED to see Jenny Dubisar!!

I love the henna design she choose to do! What do you think?

A little background about henna.

Henna is the Persian name for a shrub known as Lawsonia inermis. A paste is made using the dried, crushed leaves from the henna plant mixed with sugar, lemon juice and essential oils. The art of decorating the body with henna paste has been practiced for nearly five thousand years throughout Africa, India and the Middle East. Henna is used for special occasions such as weddings, pregnancy, postpartum or just as a way to bond with one another. Henna is though of as a blessing to ward off evil spirits and impart good luck.

Henna during pregnancy

Henna during pregnancy is an ancient practice. It is completely safe to the mother and child. Henna is applied to the belly of a pregnant women in her third trimester as a way to protect both the mother and child during her easy and quick birth. Henna is a wonderful way to honor and bless the mother during this very special time in her life. It is also very soothing and relaxing for the mother and those around her.
