Earthy and mysterious, spikenard is absolutely essential for my analgesic rub. It blends well with many other essential oils and provides not only fabulous aroma, but a tremendous healing factor. Spikenard is one of the most costly oils to purchase, and NDA has a great product, at a great price. Bringing down the cost of my products will improve my bottom line, and with NDA there is no loss of quality or potency. Thanks NDA for improving my margin!

If you are a migraine sufferer, Spikenard is a must. The price is a little high, but for the relief I gain, it's worth it.

This naturally groups with cypriol, vetiver, patchouli, and hedychium oils. It is complex, somewhat animalic, with a finish that reminds me of clary sage, but earthy and leathery.

Smells like horses, really, but it is great! I made a mix with shea butter for my mom; her mature skin is looking better already.

Just received my first NDA order, and I am overjoyed at the outstanding quality of everything that I received! Plus, it was all packed beautifully. I also received a hand-written thank you, which has never happened with any other companies from previous orders. I mixed a few drops each of Spikenhard and Clary Sage, as I suffer from insomnia. I put it on my neck, chest, and arms, and then enjoyed a peaceful sleep! Smelled so wonderful, and was so calming! It banished all negative thoughts and feelings as soon as I hit the pillow! I definitely will only order from NDA from now on. Thank you so much for these outstanding products!

Commonly called False Valerian because it shares many of its attributes, but it is cheaper. Use for allergies, inflammation, insomnia, mature skin, migraine, nervous indigestion, rejuvenating properties, rashes, stress and tension of all kinds. (Also known as False Indian Valerian Root Oil, Nard, Narde.) A very spiritual oil, supposedly used by Mary Magdalene to anoint the feet of Jesus Christ. Used extensively in devotional ritual and meditation. Highly recommended!
