The rhizome of the tender aromatic herb, which are covered by a tuft of soft light-brown 'rootlets', yields the plant's essential oil. Native to the Hymalayan mountains, the plant grows wild in India, Nepal, Bhutan, and Sikkim, at elevations between 11,000 and 17,000 feet.
Spikenard was very precious in ancient times, used only by kings, priests and high initiates in Egyptian, Hebrew, and Hindu civilizations. One of Spikenard's biblical references is that of Mary of Bethany anointing the feet of Jesus with the oil before the last supper: "Then took Mary a pound of ointment of Spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment."
Spikenard essential oil's use in modern aromatherapy is often one of regulating the actions of the nervous system and the heart.* The psychological effects pertain mainly to the heart-center and ethereal soul. With its warm and earthy aroma, Spikenard helps sooth the deepest forms of anxiety, and like Myrrh, can instill a profound sense of peace
Spikenard essential oil rarely used these days, it is often difficult to obtain.You should expect to pay around $25 for an ounce.
