Spikenard
Herbal esoterica (from Wikipedia):
Oil of spikenard is not used as widely as that of its many valerian and erectile relatives. Spikenard is still used in many Tibetan healing incenses. Is used in the herbal medicine of Tibet and the rest of China as a nerve tonic and sedative for sleep disorders a property it shares with the closely related valerian Valeriana officinalis. Spikenard is known as a healing oil and is grown in India and China. The essential oil is obtained through steam distillation and it is a base note with an earthy/musty scent. Physically Spikenard essential oil is used as a diuretic, useful for rashes and skin allergies, it is anti-fungal and has a balancing effect on the menstrual cycle. Emotionally this oil is reserved for deep seated grief or old pain. It is used in palliative care to help ease the transition from life to death.
