Aromatic: Add a few drops to a diffuser and inhale for aromatic use.
Topical: Dilute a few drops with a carrier oil or beauty product, such as shampoo or body cleanser, before applying.
Internal: Do not use spikenard oil internally.
Spikenard is safe to use topically and aromatically, but it should never be ingested internally. Always dilute it with a carrier oil or beauty product before applying it to the skin. Avoid sensitive areas like eyes, mouth and ears. Never use it as a replacement for prescribed medication.
