Abstract

The presented article provides information on the introduction of henna (Lavsonia Inermis L.), one of the world's oldest cosmetic products, to Azerbaijan, its botanical description, its indoor cultivation, its use in medicine, cosmetology, and the purchase of monofloral honey. Researches were conducted in Baku, Absheron, Lankaran, Ganja regions of the Republic of Azerbaijan, as well as in Nakhchivan MR. All organs of the henna plant have a unique coloring property. Henna has been found to contain various oils, cellulose, ash, nitrogen, essential oil, and a dye containing lavson, which has given it world fame. As a result of many years of research, Tofig Sadigov bought two new varieties of henna from Lavsonia Inermis L. species. The obtained Orkhan henna variety is used to buy leaf products. Another variety obtained from Lavsonia Inermis L. is the Sarkhan henna variety. Sarkhan henna blooms throughout the year, even in winter. The Sarkhan henna variety is mainly grown for use in the production of 100% monofloral honey. Monoflor honey gives positive results when used in gastrointestinal diseases. Studies on the production of monofloral honey from the flower of Lavsonia Inermis L. yielded positive results.
