Jatamansi Tincture & Alcohol-Free Extract

Jatamansi (Nardostachys jatamansi), the spikenard of the ancient world, is a small perennial of the honeysuckle family, Caprifoliaceae, native to alpine meadows of the Himalaya from Nepal to Yunnan at 3,000-5,000 m. It grows 10-60 cm tall with a tuft of narrow, lance-shaped leaves and small, dense heads of pale pink flowers. The dark rhizome is covered in a shaggy mat of brown fibers from old leaf bases and has a heavy, earthy, musky scent; wild stocks are listed under CITES Appendix II. We extract the dried rhizome.
