Botanical Name: Nardostachys jatamansi Botanical Family: Valerianaceae
· Extraction Method: Steam Distillation
· Part Used: Dried and Crushed Rhizomes (Roots)
· Aroma Note: Base
Spikenard is one of the most ancient and spiritually significant oils in human history. A relative of Valerian, it grows at high altitudes in the Himalayan mountains of Nepal, China, and India. The oil is distilled from the plant's hairy, underground rhizomes.
The aroma is "love it or hate it"—it is intensely earthy, heavy, musky, and reminiscent of damp soil or old leather, with a spicy-sweet undertone. In the Bible, it was the "ointment of pured nard" used to anoint the feet of Jesus. Because it is a slow-growing mountain plant, it is now an endangered species; ensure yours is sourced from sustainable, CITES-certified projects.
Anti-inflammatory, Antipyretic (fever-reducing), Antiseptic, Antispasmodic, Bactericidal, Fungicidal, Laxative (mild), Sedative, Tonic.
· Nervous System: The "Heavyweight" of Sedatives. Spikenard is more grounding than almost any other oil. It is used for deep-seated anxiety, chronic insomnia, and emotional trauma. It helps quiet a "noisy" mind.
· Skin: Historically used for "mature" skin and difficult conditions like psoriasis, weeping eczema, and fungal infections. It promotes tissue regeneration and calms skin inflammation.
· Circulatory: Like Ylang Ylang, it is excellent for heart palpitations and regulating an uneven heartbeat, especially when triggered by emotional distress.
· Hair: It has a long-standing reputation in Ayurvedic medicine for preventing hair loss and slowing the graying process by nourishing the scalp.
Spikenard is the "Oil of Gratitude and Surrender." It is the oil of the "Final Journey." It helps individuals let go of past hurts and resentment, encouraging a state of profound peace and acceptance. It is often used in hospice care or during major life transitions to help the soul feel anchored and "held." It bridges the gap between the physical and the spiritual, allowing one to feel "at home" in their own skin.
1. The "Deep Sleep" Anchor: If your mind is racing at 3:00 AM, apply 1 drop of Spikenard (diluted in carrier oil) to the soles of your feet or your big toe. Its heavy energy pulls the "over-active" energy down away from the head.
2. The "Sacred Skin" Ointment: Add 2 drops of Spikenard to a tablespoon of Shea butter. Apply to very dry, cracked, or inflamed patches of skin to encourage deep healing.
3. Meditation Grounder: Place 1 drop on the crown of the head or the "third eye" area before deep meditation to encourage a connection to the earth while the spirit expands.
The "Peace Beyond Understanding" Blend For times of deep grief, transition, or spiritual seeking

· 4 drops Frankincense
· 3 drops Sandalwood
Cedarwood, Cistus, Clove, Frankincense, Geranium, Juniper Berry, Lavender, Myrrh, Neroli, Patchouli, Pine, Rose, and Vetiver.
Generally non-toxic, non-irritant, and non-sensitizing. However, its aroma is extremely persistent and can be overwhelming; use very small amounts. Avoid during pregnancy. Due to its endangered status, use this precious oil with intentionality and respect.
Available sizes: 7ml
