Davana Oil

Description

Davana Essential Oil is typically steam distilled from the leaves and flowers of Artemisia pallens, a shrub that is primarily found in India.

The blue-green leaves have a grayish-white downy coating and the plant produces pretty, fragrant, yellow flowers. Davana takes four months to reach maturity. Harvesting is done when the flowers are fully in bloom in late summer. The whole plant is cut by hand using a sickle and allowed to dry for about a week before distillation. Davana is very delicate and requires the utmost attention during harvesting. The delectable fragrance has a fruity note of syrupy liqueur on a woody, animalic base.

A member of the daisy family, the flowering herb is native to southern India, where it has been prized by Ayurvedic healers for thousands of years. The leaves, stems, and yellow flowers of the plant are steam distilled to produce this EO extraordinaire. It?s a must-have if you are looking for a new beauty hack or a balancing, mood-boosting aroma.

Fruity, floral, and a tad woodsy, Davana?s aroma is used as an aphrodisiac in some cultures. Now you, too, can set the mood with this flirty and fragrant oil that might remind you of apricots ripening in the sun, freshly cut hay, or a stroll through a wooded forest. Some people also pick up a subtle licorice note, and others experience earthy richness.When used as part of a daily skin care regimen, Davana helps you put your freshest face forward as it fights against blemishes with a clarifying clay mask . Nourish your skin to get a healthy glow with a drop of Davana in your moisturizer each morning or night.

Given its potency and typically high ketone percentages, Davana oil should be used in small concentrations within your aromatherapy or perfumery blends.
