Abstract: The present study was conducted to determine the metal content of Lawsonia inermis Linn leaves for medicinal and cosmetic purposes. Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy was used to determine the metal content of leaves of Lawsonia inermis Linn. The results reveal that the metals Na, K, Mn, Cr, Fe, Cu, Ni, Cd, Zn, and Pb are present in 1ppm, 16ppm, 25ppm, 1.9ppm, 26ppm, 13ppm, 11ppm, 17ppm, 33ppm and 0.019ppm quantities respectively. Most of metals are found below the recommended tolerance limit of world health organization. Lawsonia inermis Linn leaves contain metals which are within the recommendation ranges and can be used for curative purposes.
