Henna for Medicinal Purposes

Henna has medicinal purposes. It helps reduce the swelling of a sprain, and cools down rashes and burns. For sprains, all you need is a cup of henna, half a cup salt, half cup of fresh grated turmeric, and water. You mix the henna with the ingredients until it is a yogurt texture, and let it sit for at least five hours. Smear the henna mix around the sprain until the area is fully covered. Wrap a cloth around the area, and leave it on until the henna is dry. If you have any cuts, then you might not want to put any salt because it will burn. When you take off the cloth, you should notice that the swelling has reduced. Henna is also good for rashes and burns. It is known to have a cooling system. For burns and rashes, mix the henna with water and raw honey. When you apply the henna you should fell it soothing the irritation.
