Your pregnant belly can be the perfect canvas for the ancient and stylish art of Henna. Spice up your look with hand crafted designs applied right to the part of your body that is noticed most in these special months. There are many pleasing benefits to having henna applied to your tummy as it is a calming technique that promotes a general sense of well being.
Applying henna to the belly toward the end of a pregnancy in certain cultures is believed to protect or bless the mother and child during the difficulties of labor. It’s believed to guard against the evil eye and protect from evil or malicious spirits that may be near during delivery. Henna designs are also viewed as protective and having henna applied as well as having someone touch your pregnant belly, is very calming. The henna paste is cooling and can help relieve heat exhaustion and soothe hot skin. Henna brings something restful and joyous to the strenuous last trimester and helps women embrace this transformation.
Your henna tattoo is temporary, but its design can last for up to 7-10 days depending on body chemistry and how long the paste was allowed to soak in. Henna always lasts longest on the hands and feet and less on the torso where skin is thinner. It is very important to keep in mind that natural henna stains a reddish brown color and needs to soak on the skin 4-8 hours. The color will be a light orange at first and darken to a richer shade over 2 days.
