Davana Essential Oil Profile: Artemisia pallens
Davana essential oil helps you return home to yourself, to find and connect with your soul purpose, and feel confident being who you are.
I first learned about davana (Artemisia pallens) in 2004 when I attended a Spiritual Phyto-Essencing retreat in La Conner, Washington, with Dr. Bruce Berkowsky.
It is a very special oil that helps you reconnect to your soul, especially when you feel lost and disconnected. You’ll feel stronger in returning home to yourself and knowing your soul’s purpose.
Therapeutic properties: antispasmodic, antibacterial, expectorant, nervine (helps nerve issues on every level)
Translation on an emotional and energetic level (scenterpretation) –
- It calms anxiety, insomnia, and nervous tension (calms spastic energy)
- It helps you release feelings of jealousy and betrayal, associated with the gallbladder and pancreas (both linked to the small intestines)
- It nurtures your ability to forgive and work through any PTSD or dramatic memories (related to heart & circulation).
Adding davana to a blend can give it a little grounding but can encourage movement at the same time. Like not standing still in one spot for too long (which causes you to become overly complacent and get stuck).
1 drop creates a powerful energy shift, so start with 1-3 drops before adding more. It will create movement on every level, so you need to be mindful of your client’s hypersensitivity level.
It is a great substitute on an emotional level for cedarwood, elemi, and frankincense (when they are combined).
Ayurveda medicine uses it to reduce blood glucose in diabetics.
