    Davana is native to India and part of the silver-leaf artemisia family. It is an aromatic herb that grows up to 60 cm in height. Davana is a tolerant herb and can survive in most soil types. But well-drained, sandy loam rich in organic matter is ideal for davana cultivation. Crops sown in the first week of November produce the highest content of essential oil. Oil is extracted from the flowers of the plant via steam distillation. It has a sweet, tea-like aroma, suggestive of a dry fruit. Davana oil has several therapeutic properties and is used to treat indigestion, nausea, and menstrual cramps. It also aids in providing relief from coughs and congestion. Demand for davana oil with a high davanone content is expected to increase. Stocks with low davanone content are available to traders and farmers. The season is over, and a low volume of good quality oil with a high davanone content is available.
