Spikenard

Spikenard

Nardostachys jatamansi

Spikenard is native to India and Nepal and is distilled from the root of the plant. It was used by Roman perfumers and has a well-known Biblical history, having been mentioned in the Song Of Solomon and with Mary Magdalene who used it to anoint Christ's feet before the Last Supper.*


Regarded as a calming, sedative, stabilizing oil, Spikenard's action regulates the nervous system and the heart. With its warm and earthy aroma, it also helps soothe the deepest forms of anxiety, nervous indigestion, migraines, stress, and overall tension. Like Myrrh, Spikenard can instill a profound sense of peace.*
