Ω JATAMANSI OIL

Jatamansi: (2ml in a 1 dram vial)

The main herb of Yoga and Ayurveda for generating simultaneous deep calm and perfect clarity, this is also the oil that Mary used to wash the Christ’s feet and is the Nard mentioned in Homer’s Odyssey.  Jatamansi is one of the herbs we grow in the High Himalaya.  Jatamansi basically refers to the dredlocks of Shiva as Yogi and how this is one of the best herbs for Yoga as practically nothing clears and calms with sedation as this plant!  Jatamansi roots are so strong that you have to quadruply wrap them to keep them from 'stinking' up a room!

CHRIST, MARY MAGDALENE, and JATAMANSI/NARD

John 12:1–8

Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. Here a dinner was given in Jesus' honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. Then Mary Magdalene took about a pint of pure Jatamansi nard, an expensive perfume (from Tibet via the Silk Road); she poured it on Jesus' feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
