The name Alkanet comes from the Arabic word alhinna, or henna in English, due to the red dye in its roots.
Alkanet is a natural dye and imparts a fine deep red colour to oily substances and to spirit of wine, it tinges water with a dull brownish hue. Wax tinged with Alkanet, and applied to the surface of warm marble, stains it flesh-colour and sinks deep into the stone. Used in cold pressed soap making it produces a wonderful purple hue to the soap. It is also used in colouring spurious 'port-wine,' for which purpose it is perfectly harmless.
Burn as an incense to help purify an area of negativity. Also used to attract prosperity in all forms.
