Davana (artemisia pallens) Organic Essential Oil
This delightful organic essential oil from Davana (Dhavanam), a member of the daisy family (asteraceae) is a very useful oil to have. Containing davanone, davan ether, davana furan and linalool amongst other naturally-occurring chemicals, it is an effective anti-viral, anti-depressant, expectorant & antiseptic and is reputed to offer protection against tetanus so is good to offer for wounds sustained from dirty or rusty objects.
Like wormwood, it is from the artemisia family & unsurprisingly has mild vermifuge and insect-repellent properties too.
Its relaxant properties help to relax contractions in muscles and blood vessels, and this organic essential oil has a relaxing effect on the brain and the nervous system – fighting anxiety, stress, depression, and anger often leading to a good night’s sleep.
As an expectorant it is good to offer in cases of chronic respiratory problems.
