Want to have healthy, thick, shiny hair without changing your hair color?  Don’t like that list of ingredients you see on bottles of hair conditioner?  Cassia Obovata is the hair-conditioning herb that is often marketed as “neutral henna.”   “Neutral henna” is nether neutral nor henna!   It's Cassia Obovata, and it's an herb!

Get a sample of Cassia Obovata, mix it with enough warm water or an herb tea to make a paste, and apply it to a spot on the inside of your elbow for an hour as an allergy test.  Allergies to Cassia are rare, but not unknown.  Test some more of the Cassia paste on hair harvested from your hairbrush.  When you rinse out the Cassia, you should find the hair thick, glossy, and healthy.

If you have no problem with your test applications, go ahead and mix enough to do your hair!  You can mix Cassia Obovata powder with warm water and apply it to your hair hair, as you would apply henna.  If you don’t like the smell of Cassia Obovata (it smells like a freshly cut lawn), add a few drops of lavender or other essential oil, or mix the powder with a fragrant spice or flower tea.  You don’t have to worry about dye release, so you can use your Cassia Obovata about half an hour after you mix it up.  Section your hair, and apply the Cassia Obovata so it gets to your scalp.  Then work it evenly through your hair.  You can rinse it out after half an hour.  The anthraquinones do their work quickly!  Your hair will be thick, shiny, and glossy.  If you had scalp problems, the Cassia should have fixed them!

If you have a box of green stuff that says “neutral henna”, that green powder is neither neutral nor henna.  There is no such plant as neutral henna!  Henna is Lawsonia inermis, and has a red-orange dye molecule.  The green "neutral henna" powder is most likely to be Cassia obovata leaf!

Cassia obovata powder looks very much like henna powder, but  generally does not stain hair or hands. It is an excellent conditioner which makes hair glossy and thick, with a healthy scalp.  When you mix this green leaf powder with warm water,  it has a strong smell similar to a heap of warm mowed grass.  If your powder stains your hair or hands yellow, it probably has some rhubarb root mixed into it.

Cassia obovata is also known as Senna obovata. Cassia and Senna are used often interchangeably in botanical texts.  Do remember, though that Cassia, which is also called Senna, is NOT the Cassia, which is true Cinnamon.  Just in case you weren’t confused enough already.  For the purposes of this page, I’ll refer to Cassia/Senna as Cassia.

Cassia Obovata, harvested for use in hair, is grown in Egypt and Nubia. There are about 400 species of cassia around the world. Many of these species are used in folk medicines, as antifungals, antibacterials and laxatives, and were recorded in 9th and 10th century Arabic pharmacopoeia.  Several Cassias traditionally used to cure fungal and bacterial infections have been tested and found to be highly effective against many microbes and fungi.  The antimicrobial substance these cassias have in common is chrysophanic acid, an anthraqinone. Rhubarb root also has chrysophanic acid.  Chysophanic acid, in its pure form is yellow, and if it is in high concentrations in rhubarb root or cassia, it may stain hair and skin yellow ...  thus it is often used in “blonde henna” (which is not henna, and is not blonde!)

Cassias with high levels of anthraquinones and crysophanic acid are very effective inhibitors of skin fungus, mite infestations, bacterial and microbial diseases. Cassia alata, which has high levels of anthraquinones and crysophanic acid, has been traditionally used to treat eczema, itching and skin infections in humans. It has also been demonstrated to completely cure bovine skin lesions due to Dermatophilus Congolensis, Pityriasis versicolor, and mite infestation of rabbits, Psoroptes cuniculi. In other tests, Cassia alata anthraquinones were effective inhibitors of of Streptococus mutans, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Micrococcus luteus, and Pseudomonas putida. Chrysophanic acid is also effective in treating psoriasis.  The cassias with high levels of anthraquinones and crysophanic acid are genuinely effective in promoting healthy conditions of skin and hair.  Cassia obovata has not been as throughly tested as Cassia alata, but seems to have similar properties.

In comparison to Cassia obovata, henna (Lawsonia inermis)  has napthoquonine, or hennotannic acid, another antifungal which has been demonstrated to be an effective treatment for ringworm and other fungal skin infections.

Some of the early western confusion over the cassia species as used in traditional Arabic, Indian, and North African medicines can be seen in the 1911 edition of The British Pharmaceutical Codex, which lists Senna Alexandrina, Alexandrian Senna; Cassia obovata; Cassia angustifolia, Arabian senna, Mecca senna; Cassia montana; Cassia holosericea; Cassia angustifolia, Senna Indica, Indian senna, Tinnevelly senna; Cassia acutifolia, Cassia angustifolia and says “The constituents of senna leaves are not yet well known.”  Recent ethnobotanists have studied these plants and attempted to clarify species, isolate and identify phytochemicals, and test their effects on fungi and bacteria, but still stumble around the old names.

How do you know if Cassia Obovata will make your hair gorgeous?  Try some!  Mix up a little bit of henna and try it on hair you've harvested from your hairbrush.  Want enough to try twice (once to test and once to be sure)? Avert potential disaster for $1.00-- what a bargain!
