Description of Spikenard Plant
🌻 Spikenard is a stunning alpine plant, though it is quite rare. It features beautiful rose-purple to whitish flowers that grow in dense clusters at the ends of branches, often with additional branching. The entire plant emits a unique and lasting fragrance. Spikenard has been cherished since ancient times for its fragrant properties.
🌻 Jatamansi gets its name from its thick roots and numerous hair-like structures, known as “jata” in Sanskrit. The term is a combination of two words: “Jata,” which refers to dreadlocks, and “manasi,” meaning related to humans. This remarkable herb has been utilized for various medicinal purposes since ancient times. The primary medicinal components are its dried rhizomes and roots.
