It can be used in a variety of ways and in all different forms including its dye form. It is well known for its aqueous extracts, tinctures, and salves, composed of the bark, seeds, and leaves. The henna oil, bark, and seeds are the most common forms for medicinal benefits, and the high concentration of chemicals and nutrients in the plant gives it anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, astringent, and antiviral effects.
