The environmental pollution caused by chemical industries in the synthesis of organic dyes had made the scientist in the developing country to enter in to an era, in which plant product serve as an alternative to synthetic products. Natural pigments in plants are highly colored substances and may show color changes with variation of pH. Lawsonia inermis (henna plant) has been used in herbal medicine for ages.
