Spikenard, Wild: Nepal (Nardostachys jatamansi)
The Spikenard plant is native to Nepal and comes from the foothills of the Himalayas and is more costly oil due to the larger demand and low harvest yields. It is a member of the Valerian family and the oil is extracted like Valerian by steam distilling the roots. This oil has a lot of the same calming properties as Valerian but has a much more pleasant fragrance.
Anciently Spikenard has a long record for therapeutic use but was very costly and precious. In the Bible, Mary Magdalene used Spikenard to anoint Jesus’ feet before the Last Supper. The Romans used it for stress relief, insomnia, skin beautification, and as a spice for flavoring.
