Davana Essential Oil

I was able to receive this product at a discounted price for an honest review. I love the fact that these oils are so potent, and that a little drop goes a REALLY long way, so this bottle will last quite some time. I use this oil in my bath at night to help reduce built up stress and anxiety from a days worth of running around after a 2.5 yr old while tending to a newborn, and it helps. I feel so much more relaxed after my bath and am able to sleep (as long as my children sleep). Definitely worth the purchase, and there's so many more uses for this oil I can't wait to try!

I always test an oil's purity by performing an at home test by letting a few drops dry on a white piece of paper. If it leaves a greasy stain (there are exceptions) it is probably diluted with a carrier oil. This left an orangy-green stain. It was oily but that is because of the high concentration of oil from the plant's flowers. I did not smell any alcohol or other oils like sweet almond or jojoba. I am pretty certain that this oil is pure because I have had good results with other oils from this company.

You can diffuse it (2-4 drops) to help get rid of colds, flu and coughs. It has a calming effect and helps lessen anger and helps with depression. A small amount can be for insect bites. I applied it directly to my skin with no problems. It can also be diluted with a carrier oil like fractionated coconut oil if your skin is more sensitive, this will also reduce the fragrance. It is a good oil for female conditions like menopause and regulating menstruation because it is so emotionally balancing. I like blending it with Frankincense, Sandalwood or Sweet Orange oils. I use it in a diffuser or my essential oil diffuser pendant.

I have a small but growing collection of essential oils, several of which are by salvia. I've always been happy with them and use them almost daily in our home. I have to say, I was intrigued by this oil, Davana because I'd never heard of it before. I looked up the benefits of the oil on Pinterest and when I saw the benefits that it has to offer, I ordered it. The oil has many health benefits such as antiviral; it can be helpful in treating coughs, colds and even the flu virus. It can also be used as an antidepressant; it promotes relaxation which helps fight against depression, anxiety and stress. Davana oil can be used as an antiseptic and disinfectant, as well. It is also known to help relieve menstrual pain and gives relief from fatigue, nausea, pelvic pain and cramps. This is an oil that I know will come in handy in our home. Although I don't want to have any of the issues that the oil helps, it's comforting to know that when an illness does occur, that I will already have a treatment for it in my essential oil collection.

I love this oil, it smells so divine and has a unique, calming scent. I bought it to use in a homemade blend recipe and didn't know what to expect but I am always pleased with their oils
