Property

Davana essential oil is present in many Ayurvedic medicine preparations, boasting an ancient and vast herbal tradition thanks to its many properties: anthelmintic, aphrodisiac, relaxant, tonic, and antidepressant. It is also excellent for treating skin infections, so much so that it remains a traditional remedy for wounds infected by tetanus. Considered a natural stimulant for the endocrine system, it is also believed to make the skin smooth and healthy. This essential oil, although completely non-toxic, can be slightly irritating; for this reason, it is always advisable to dissolve it beforehand in a vegetable oil (almond or sesame). When used in a diffuser, it also acts as an effective antiseptic. It is known that, when applied to the skin, Davana essential oil takes on distinct olfactory nuances in different people. This peculiarity is appreciated in high-end perfumery for the purpose of creating perfumes with a personalized note.
It blends perfectly with the essential oils of: Orange, Bergamot, Noble Laurel, Lavender, Lemon, Mint, Neroli, Sage and Tea Tree.

Uses

Davana essential oil has many uses: in cosmetics (creams and bath oils), in fine perfumery (composition of woody-fruity notes), in confectionery, and even as a tobacco flavoring.

Botany

Also known as Marathi, Davana is an aromatic herb that grows in India (especially in Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu). It is typically found near sandalwood trees. It is a variety of Artemisia with leaves covered with a whitish down on the underside, giving the plant a silvery-gray appearance. The highly fragrant flowers are gathered in yellow racemose panicles.
