Davana has always been known as a plant that restores integrity to what has been compromised — physically, emotionally, spiritually. Davana surprises people with its depth and potency because of its sweetly-rich, disarming aroma. Davana should never be underestimated.  one of our clients, who was the caretaker for her elderly aunt, called asking for guidance regarding alleviating the deep, infected bed sores that afflicted her aunt.  Nothing was working, and in fact, all efforts seem to aggravate the condition.  she applied Davana to the infected areas, as it is very gentle on the skin, and is widely known for effective skin renewal, especially when tissue has been stressed or compromised. Within days, they saw significant improvement, and within a couple of weeks, the areas had healed.  

Medicinal Benefits: Other ways Davana can be used for wound healing include cuts, or scrapes where the skin is broken. Davana's antimicrobial and antioxidant properties help create a cleaner, more supportive environment for the body’s own healing processes. In women's health, Davana helps to regulate the menstrual cycle and relieve associated cramps, pelvic pain, and menopausal symptoms.

Emotional & Spiritual Properties: Davana is a powerful relaxant that helps reduce stress, anxiety, and nervousness, while promoting a joyful mood. Spiritually, it is often called a "mirror" for the soul, helping us recognize our true selves and let go of self-defeating, inauthentic patterns. This exquisite oil, relatively unknown in the US, is used in other cultures as a guide during initiation or transitions, aiding in the process of individuation, personal growth and emotional healing. Davana is deeply rooted in Indian Ayurvedic  traditions, especially in relation to emotional balance, and uplifting one's spirits. 

Cultural & Historical Lineage: Davana holds a central role in Hindu traditions and is considered highly sacred to Lord Shiva, the God of Transformation. Davana flowers are traditionally offered to Lord Shiva in southern India as an act of devotion and transformation.  she has been referred to by many as “goddess in a bottle”.
