Spikenard Oil - jatamansi

Spikenard essential oil is a precious and highly aromatic oil extracted from the roots of the Nardostachys jatamansi plant, a perennial herb native to the high-altitude regions of the Himalayas.

This ancient plant has been revered for centuries in traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. Spikenard oil boasts a rich, warm, and earthy aroma with subtle woody and spicy undertones. It is known for its deep, penetrating fragrance that can be both grounding and uplifting.

The extraction process of Spikenard oil is typically through steam distillation of the dried roots, resulting in a concentrated and potent oil. Due to the plant's slow growth and the labour-intensive harvesting process, Spikenard essential oil is considered a luxury and often comes with a higher price tag.
