Description
Spikenard is native to the Himalayas and is considered one of the most sacred plants.Its essential oil was used in sacred balms intended for priests and monarchs.
Spikenard is mentioned several times in the Bible, although we do not know for certain whether this refers to jatamansi spikenard or another plant. In the Gospel, we read that Mary Magdalene anointed Jesus Christ with spikenard oil, but here too we do not know whether it was really jatamansi spikenard. Most likely it was not.
The word jatamansi means “embodied spirit”. According to Ayurvedic medicine, spikenard is recommended for developing consciousness. It is considered a tridosha essence, meaning that it harmonises the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha).
The aroma of spikenard essential oil is very distinctive, bearing some resemblance to the essential oil of another plant in the same family, valerian. It can be described as complex and penetrating. It evokes woody, earthy and somewhat damp notes. It is not an easy aroma to approach, and not everyone finds it pleasant.
Precautions
Avoid use during pregnancy and on children.

It is a journey
Pros: Yo lo utilizo en la zoofarmacognosis aplicada. Y los animales no mienten. Los que lo eligen como parte de tratamiento, les reconforta. Potente sedante natural, les ayuda con el insomnio y mucho más.

I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE LIKE THE FRAGRANCE OF THE FLOWERS I LOVE, BUT EVEN SO, ITS THERAPEUTIC BENEFITS ARE POSITIVE
Translated review.
A really distinctive fragrance, and yes, it has a hint of valerian in the opening, but as it evaporates it leaves an elegant woody note. I like it very much. I will have to buy it again, as I would not want to be without this oil. Thanks to the website for stocking it. Perfect delivery and packaging. Best wishes
Pros: Todas
Cons: Que no sepas lo que pides y te lleves una sorpresa. El contra radica en la persona y no en el producto.

A wonderful oil with a very distinctive scent — very earthy, powerful, not at all floral.
Happy to find it here, and at a reasonable price too. It is not an easy oil to find, as the Nardostachys jatamansi plant is becoming increasingly scarce... I use it as if it were a treasure! Every drop is very precious to me — and 1 drop goes a looong way! Very special.
