That sounds totally delish, and i'm sure you could make a gorgeous
loose incense with frankincense, cloves, myrrh, even a little henna
thrown in for good measure. The smoke itself might not affect the
henna, but the heat from holding your hand over a charcoal disk with
summa that sprinkled on top would help. I have always wanted to try
the North African method of "pit smoking" henna myself.. It involves
digging a hole in the ground in which a very smoky fire is built, and
somehow enclosing the heat and smoke to hold your hennaed hands
over...
