Spikenard Pure Essential Oil

Biblical Spikenard

Biblical spikenard essential oil is a truly unique fragrance that holds a special place in Christian history. Mentioned several times in the Bible, it is a symbol of devotion and love, famously used by Mary to anoint Jesus' feet before His crucifixion. With its warm, earthy fragrance, this oil can help to create a peaceful and contemplative atmosphere perfect for tranquil moments of prayer, meditation, and reflection. Spikenard is also known for its various therapeutic properties including its ability to promote relaxation in times of stress and anxiety, its sedative effects for restless nights, and its clarifying properties for use on troubled skin. Because of its role as a metaphor for some of the most powerful Christian concepts, along with its numerous physical benefits, Biblical Spikenard Essential Oil is a must-have for any Christian seeking to connect with the rich history of their religion.

Inspiration

In the testament of John, we read about Mary Magdalene anointing Jesus' feet with an oil of pure spikenard. At the time, the amount of oil she poured on His feet was equivalent to about a year's wages for an average worker, attesting to the depth of her reverence for Jesus. This act of true devotion and sacrifice is a powerful metaphor for how we should approach our relationship with God. Just as the spikenard was a rare and expensive oil, so too should our worship and adoration of God be something precious and valuable to us. The fact that Mary poured out the entire bottle of oil on Jesus' feet shows us that we should be willing to give our all in our pursuit of God, holding nothing back. In doing so, we can experience the joy and fulfillment that comes from living a life of deep spiritual significance, centered on our love for God and our desire to serve Him wholeheartedly. May the fragrance of faith fill your home like the aroma of spikenard in the house at Bethany.

Scent

Spikenard’s scent is both very unique and memorable, although most people have not been fortunate enough to experience it. The aroma of spikenard essential oil is earthy, woody, and musky, with a slightly sweet and spicy undertone. Some people describe its fragrance as rich, complex, and exotic. We recommend discovering this special fragrance in order to more vividly connect to the famous Bible scene in John 12.
