Topical

For adults, dilute Jatamansi oil to 2-3% (12-18 drops per ounce of carrier oil). For children, use 0.5-1% (3-6 drops). Elderly individuals can use 1-2% (6-12 drops). Carrier oils like jojoba, coconut, or sweet almond are recommended. Massage into skin where needed.

Inhalation

For direct inhalation, add 1-2 drops to a tissue or cup hands over your nose. For steam inhalation, use 2-3 drops in a bowl of hot water, inhaling for 5-10 minutes. Alternatively, a personal inhaler can be prepared with a few drops for on-the-go use.

Safety & Precautions

Safety Guidelines

Conduct a patch test before use to check for allergic reactions. Jatamansi does not typically cause photosensitivity but is advisable to avoid sun exposure post-use. Consult healthcare professionals when pregnant or nursing, and check for interactions with medications. Store in a cool, dark place and observe a typical shelf life of 3-5 years.

Who Should Avoid
  • ⚠️ Individuals with allergies to plants in the Valerianaceae family.
  • ⚠️ Pregnant women in the first trimester should avoid.
