A deep rich, full-bodied spicy aroma that’s sweet and woody, Spikenard Oil from Nepal is also known as "False" Indian Valerian Root.

Spikenard, also called nard, nardin and muskroot, grows wild in the mountains of India and Nepal. Its scent is long lasting and gives depth to any blend. Its initial Valerian-like scent mellows as it drys down. 

This is a lovely distillation of Spikenard. Artistic distillations of Nardostachys Jatamansi seem to be a rare find.

Many aromatherapists have never experienced the treat of how this oil smells when it's been artfully distilled. A poor quality distillation of Nard is rather smoky and bitter smelling.

A valued oil since ancient times, Spikenard has often been used in anointing and wellness rituals and religious ceremonies.

Spikenard was the aromatic oil in the foot balm that Mary (Lazarus' daughter) used to anoint her master Jesus' feet in the New Testament of the Bible.

Spikenard is an ideal meditation oil and has traditionally been used in many incense formulas and for spiritual enhancement. It is considered a spiritual aid for contemplation and clarity of mind.

A relative of the Valerian family, Spikenard oil's high sesquiterpene and sesquiterpenol chemical content makes it one of the most powerful soothing and calming oils in aromatherapy. It is often recommended for easing stress.
