Spikenard essential oil is highly regarded as a calming, sedative, stabilizing oil. 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 oil is indicated for the individual who, searching for spiritual certainty, struggles in vain to find the stable ground of faith. It is then that the 'release' into spiritual openness may be of great assistance.
External application of Spikenard invokes its sedative effect - try rubbing gently over the heart and solar plexus. Spikenard Oil may also be supportive in cases of allergic skin reactions, and can sooth, nourish, and regenerate the skin for some people. Spikenard oil has been noted to be one of the few essential oils to assist with dandruff.
Action: Antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and skin tonic.
Traditional Indications: This oil is known for helping the treatment of allergic skin reactions.
Historical Uses: Candida, flatulent indigestion, insomnia, menstrual difficulties, migraine, nausea, rashes, staph infections, and tachycardia.
Strengthens the heart and circulatory system.
Emotional Uses: Relaxing and soothing to the mind. For aromatic use.

I know doTERRA doesn't sell this, but does anyone know anything about Spikenard? I've heard it's really good for rashes/skin conditions due to candida and detox.
