DESCRIPTION

Imagine walking through the high-altitude forests of Nepal, where the air is filled with a deep, grounding aroma — this is the essence of Spikenard Organic Essential Oil. Also known as Nard Oil, it comes from the roots of the aromatic Jatamansi herb, which thrives in this remote, pristine region.

Spikenard was once the perfume of royalty and the wealthy elite, prized for its rich, grounding fragrance. In ancient Egypt, it was an aromatic treasure, and in the Bible, it’s mentioned in the Song of Solomon and the Book of John, where Mary used it to anoint the feet of Jesus. In Rome, this luxurious oil was sought after for its deep, musky notes, often used in perfumes and beauty preparations.

Spikenard Organic Essential Oil continues to be celebrated for its calming, grounding properties — a perfect choice for spiritual practices and soothing blends that bring peace to the mind and body.


DIRECTIONS & SUGGESTED USAGE

    • Spiritual Glow: Add 1–2% of Spikenard Essential Oil (also known as nard oil) to candle wax for meditation or prayer candles. The rich, grounding aroma enhances spiritual rituals with an earthy, calming presence. Make small trial batches first to find your ideal scent strength before scaling up.

    • Aromatic Retreat: Diffuse 3–5 drops of Spikenard Oil to create a peaceful, meditative space. A heavy, earthy base note helps quiet the mind and encourage emotional grounding.

    • Royal Treatment for Skin: Blend 0.5–1% of Spikenard Essential Oil into lotions, creams, or moisturizers for a calming touch. Spikenard Oil benefits skin by providing rich hydration and balance. Patch testing is recommended before full application.

    • Rooted Hair Rituals: Add 1–2% of Spikenard Oil to scalp treatments, serums, or hair oils. Revered for traditional use in promoting healthy-looking hair and scalp care, it leaves hair soft, shiny, and manageable. Patch test on scalp before full use.

    • Luxe Balms & Serums: Incorporate 0.5–1% of Spikenard Essential Oil into balms, facial oils, or serums for an added layer of calm and care. Soothing qualities make it ideal for evening skin rituals. Patch testing is recommended before full application.

    • Indulgent Massages: Dilute 1–2% of Spikenard Essential Oil in a carrier oil such as jojoba or sweet almond. Apply during massages to promote a deep sense of relaxation and emotional balance.

    • Timeless Perfumes: Use Spikenard Essential Oil at 10–20% in perfumes to create a warm, musky base note. Its historic ties to luxury and ritual add depth and richness to modern fragrance blends.

    • Dreamy Sleep Rituals: Incorporate 0.5–1% of nard oil into bedtime sprays, pillow mists, or nighttime body oils. The soothing scent can help calm the mind and body, preparing you for deep, restful sleep.
