Botanical name: Nardostachys jatamansi 10 ml. bottle This essential oil is used for inflammation, sedative and an anti-spasmodic. When I’ve used Spikenard it helps me quickly relax. It’s also quite grounding, soothing nerves and emotions. One drop on your neck or inside your wrists will allow you to smell it as needed. You also may smell directly from a drop on the palm of your hands. Use one or two drops of this essential oil on the bottom of your feet or on the area of concern. Please use the patch test on a small area of skin before using on larger areas. Use one or two drops of this essential oil on the bottom of your feet or on the area of concern.
