Spikenard Essential Oil (10ml) - Earthy & Woodsy Scent | Spikenard Oil for Hair, Massage and Relaxation, Earthy Grounding Aroma for Deep Calm, Aromatherapy Grade Oil - Gya Labs

As someone with eczema-prone skin and a history of reacting to common essential oils like Rose Geranium, I am always cautious when trying new products. This Gya Labs Helichrysum (Immortelle) Essential Oil has been a complete game-changer. It is the only oil I’ve found that genuinely calms my skin without causing any inflammation, itching, or redness. Performance for Sensitive Users • Eczema Friendly: I’ve had zero flare-ups using this. It feels incredibly soothing and has boosted my skin's appearance and resilience. • No Migraine Triggers: I am prone to scent-triggered nausea and headaches, but this aroma is a subtle, honey-sweet, and earthy scent. It isn't "heady" or aggressive, making it perfectly safe for me to use on my face overnight. Usage & Value I add exactly 3 drops directly into approximately 30ml of my oil-based moisturizer, mixing it in my palm before application. Because this 5ml bottle contains roughly 100 drops, I expect it to last me well over a year at my current usage rate, making the price-per-use exceptional for such a high-quality, pure oil. Versatility While I use it primarily for its skin-calming and regenerative effects, the scent profile is so unique that it would pair beautifully with Coconut Wax for a DIY spring/summer candle. It’s earthy enough to keep a floral blend grounded. Allergen Information: While this works perfectly for me, it does naturally contain compounds that may be allergens for some. If you have known sensitivities to the following, please proceed with caution: • Limonene: (Also found in Lemon and Bergamot) • Linalool: (Also found in Lavender and Ho Wood) Neryl Acetate: (A major constituent also found in Neroli) Safety Disclaimer Essential oils are highly concentrated. For external use only. Always perform a patch test on a small area of skin 48 hours before full use to check for sensitivities. Consult a healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, nursing, or under a doctor's care. Keep out of reach of children. 🌟 Final Verdict For those with "difficult" skin who want a potent, restorative oil that won't trigger a reaction or a headache, this is a top-tier choice. I hope this helps others with sensitive skin find a safe, effective solution!

Lovely oil with a beautiful smell

Good value for money and a pretty good pine smell.

I got this product 2 days ago and am writing a review hoping it will help some frustrated couple out there. If your partner snores, it's horrific. If it's happening to you, you know. So much emotional frustration and tension over an issue that is no one's fault, yet a total sleep destroyer. So my man and I tried many things. Finally resigned to rotating between nasal strips (which help only some, and only when perfectly placed), and ear plugs for me (finally found some that muffle, but none of them block it out entirely). My man has a long history of respiratory weakness, and eucalyptus oi is supposed to be awesome for that. So we got a diffuser for the bedroom and started running strong eucalyptus radiata all night to help him. I was surprised to notice a slight lessening of the snoring volume with the eucalyptus (it has a strong menthol smell). I've since gotten way into essential oils, self-taught. I'm thrilled with all of the practical uses they have (first aid, etc). Wasn't keen to try thyme because I'm not a huge thyme fan in cooking. Just makes me think of spaghetti sauce. Well, in my research to help hubby with other health issues, I came across thyme being recommended for lungs and immunity. So two nights ago, I fixed up a potent half eucalyptus, half thyme diffuser blend (about 10 drops each for a small bedroom, with the diffuser placed on his side of the bed). Went to bed with my ear plugs at the ready. Was absolutely shocked when he was SILENT the whole night. NO SNORING. Well, that seemed too good to be true. The next day, hubby took a nap by himself, no diffuser. Popped in to check on him and he was snoring per usual. That night, fired up my half and half blend again (eucalyptus & thyme). NO SNORING. This time I listened closely to his breathing. It's like the thyme is relaxing whatever part makes that flapping/constricted sound because he was breathing in and out with far less strain. Noise aside, as a wife who really loves her man, I want him to breathe well. To me, snoring is like a sound of choking. Seems to me that no snoring has got to mean better oxygen delivery and better sleep. Historically my man sleeps lousy, waking up many times. I'm thinking if he gets better oxygen, he'll sleep longer. Anyhow, I didn't want to raise false hopes, so I did a few more experiments. This morning, after running all night, the aroma of the thyme and eucalyptus was very depleted. He began snoring again. I snuck out of bed and replenished the oils just to see. The snoring STOPPED. Later on, we woke up and he turned off the diffuser as we were getting ready to actually get out of bed. But then he drifted off again while the diffuser was still off. Within 5 minutes, he started snoring again. So there is no doubt in my mind that the thyme is a key ingredient here. But the part that I am still blown away by is how effectively it stops the snoring. When he's on his back, he's always the worst, and even with thyme his breathing becomes more strained and small attempts at snoring start happening. So I just have him turn on his side, and SILENCE. Thyme is a relationship and sleep saver!! It smells a bit green, and actually doesn't make me think of spaghetti sauce, so it's doable. There are countless blend opportunities, and you could easily bring this with you to a hotel and put a lot of the oil in some kind of dish to diffuse it without a machine. So this has many possibilities. I am thrilled. And clearly this brand is putting out a quality product, given what I've shared. I really hope this helps someone.

My first encounter with spikenard and I love the smell. Woody, warm and earthy.

I ordered a whole bunch of essential oils & other ingredients to make my own home made beard balms. I thought the price of beard balms were just too expensive to be buying as often as i needed them (i have medium size beard, but my beard is thick. I use a heaped thumbnail size amount, sometimes 2) to coat my beard properly, and fully - i am quite heavy handed and do sometimes use too much - which is what can make it expensive. So buying the ingredients, and making my own is a far more cost effective way of keeping my beard soft, conditioned and under control. The essential oils all play their own part in providing nutrients to my skin and beard, and can help against itchy, flaky beards. And depending what ingredients go in, the balms can be used at night or day, and each have their own benefits - from conditioning to growth, to strength. The scents smell nice to begin with, but they don't last all day. Id say they last a good couple hours - but then again, my nose gets used to it, and i often cant smell it half hour after i put it on... *please note* - If you are going to make your own balms, seek professional advice first, and research all the products you use. Not all essential oils are good for the skin & hair, and you can have an allergic reaction. And what works on my skin and hair may not work on yours.. So please don't just copy what i have. (i don't have all my products pictured)

Great for toothache

Beautiful smell.
