Red Spikenard (Narda Stachus atamans), is an anointing Biblical oil, now used to help reduce symptoms of tension. Spikenard has been used in skincare to refresh mature skin, religious ceremonies and in perfumes. It is one of the rarest and oldest essential oils. It grows in the far East and is a member of the honeysuckle family.
It is currently endangered and not available to my present knowledge.
In perfumes, it has a resinous earthy aroma with woody and green overtones. It can be used as a low note in aroma blends
Combine it with Vetiver, Frankincense, Palmarosa and Rosewood.
Not for pregnant or nursing mother.
