Jatamasi essential oil, also known as spikenard essential oil or Nardostachys jatamansi oil, is a precious and aromatic oil derived from the roots of the Jatamasi plant, scientifically known as Nardostachys jatamansi. This plant is native to the mountainous regions of the Himalayas, primarily found in countries such as Nepal, India, and Bhutan.

The resulting oil is amber to dark brown in color, possessing a rich, earthy, and woody aroma with subtle sweet undertones
