Allergic
reactions to pure henna are very rare, but they do occur. Please
patch test henna before using on a large area. If you
experience itching or wheezing within one day of applying Ancient
Sunrise ® Henna,
rinse the henna off the skin immediately, and consult your physician. Allergic
reactions to pure henna may include itching and hives.
Many people have had an allergic reaction to a ‘black henna temporary tattoo’. ‘Black Henna’ is not pure henna; ‘black henna’ is mixed with para-phenylenediamine, and the allergic reactions to ‘black henna’ are caused by that chemical dye. Pure Ancient Sunrise ® Henna for Therapeutic Use does not contain para-phenylenediamine, and should not cause any problem for people who had allergic reactions to ‘black henna’-. If you have any concerns about a potential allergic reaction to pure henna, consult your physician, and patch test with Ancient Sunrise ® Henna before applying to a large area.

Epub 2007 Sep 21. Department of Medical Oncology, Ondokuz Mayis University Medical School, Samsun 55139, Turkey. Capecitabine
is a chemotherapeutic drug for use in cancers. Hand-foot syndrome (HFS)
is side effect of capecitabine which can lead the cessation of the
therapy or dose reduction. Henna (Lawsonia inermis) is a traditionally
used plant of Middle-East that is applied on hands and feet. Some of
cancer patients in capecitabine treatment who developed HFS, we
recommended to apply henna. In these patients, six patients were grade
3 HFS and four were grade 2 HFS. Complete response (CR) were seen in
four of grade 3 HFS and all of grade 2; two grade 3 HFS improved to
grade 1. So far, in the chemotherapy, there was no need of dose
reduction and also no side effect of henna seen. Clinical improvement
in these patients may relate to anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and
analgesic effects of henna. |
