- 1). Impart scent of spikenard rhizomes, or roots, into your carrier oil. You can place the roots in a sealed plastic bag and slightly bruise them using your mallet. Then transfer the bruised roots in a mason jar containing your carrier oil. Let the roots release their odor into the oil over the course of several days, keeping the jar in a moderate-temperature dry environment, shaking occasionally to help the roots completely release their scent..
- 2). Separate the roots from the oil. Remove the lid from the jar containing the oil and roots and place cheesecloth over its mouth. Pour the oil into your second jar.
- 3). Transfer your scented oil into smaller bottles using a funnel.
