Our Spikenard essential oil is responsibly sourced straight from India in the Himalayan regions. The oil is obtained through careful steam distillation of the dried roots and rhizomes, a process that helps preserve its rich, earthy, and deeply grounding aroma. Each batch is carefully tested to ensure quality, purity, and potency before it reaches our customers.
About Spikenard Essential Oil
Spikenard essential oil is a natural aromatic oil extracted from the roots and rhizomes of the spikenard plant (Nardostachys jatamansi), a flowering plant native to the Himalayan regions of India and Nepal. The oil is produced through steam distillation and has a deep, earthy, woody aroma with subtle herbal notes, often described as grounding and calming.
Spikenard essential oil is traditionally valued for its soothing and balancing properties. When used aromatically, it is commonly associated with promoting relaxation, emotional balance, and a sense of calm, making it a popular choice for meditation, stress-relief practices, and restorative environments. In topical applications (when properly diluted), spikenard oil is often included in skincare formulations for its nourishing and comforting qualities and is sometimes used to support the appearance of healthy skin. Due to its rich scent and historical significance, spikenard essential oil is also used in perfumery and holistic wellness practices.
