Description: Davana is a small plant with the oil coming from the stems
and leaves.
Aromatic Scent: Davana Essential Oil is a difficult oil to describe
because it is capable of smelling very different on each individual. The
feedback tends to alternate between masculine floral scents through to a
woodsy, balsamic odor..
Common Uses: When applied to the skin, Davana is said to have a
different scent on different people, a peculiar property which is highly valued
in perfumery to create fragrances with individual notes. It is used in
aromatherapy as being an agent to combat anxiety, anti-infectious, soothing to
dry rough skin, and a stimulant to the endocrine system.
History: Each day, the faithful in India offer Davana blossoms to
Shiva, the god of Transformation. The flowers remain on his altar throughout
the day and are removed in the evening.
