Just found the following information at an Australian website about
henna and pregnancy, children, rites of passage:

"Ela saw henna used for a ceremonial 'rite of passage' when a girl
entered puberty, for example. "The Egyptians and Turks believe henna
removes the 'evil eye', while in Morocco, pregnant women have their
ankles decorated at seven months for a 'safe pregnancy'. They even
plaster the baby's navel when it is born, as henna contains cleansing
and soothing qualities. In the desert, henna is applied to the
foreheads of children with fever, as it cools the body."

This is the website if anyone is interested:
