: K's flatmate had a dreadful PPD reaction last year, as I mentioned a
: while back, and is allergic to practically everything now. Would she
: be able to use henna and indigo? Has anyone ever had bad reactions
: from either of these?

There should be NO problem with henna and indigo ... BUT ... might go
easy on the acid in the mix if her skin is tender. A long exposure to
a head full of acidic henna paste may cause irritation.

I'm basing the "should be no problem" on the number of medical
articles I've seen where allergists patch tested patients for PPD and
Henna after a notorious PPDBH ... and PPD showed up positive, and
henna was no prob.
