* Several sources have stated that Roman Spikenard is the same as Celtic Spikenard. In any case, Roman Spikenard was regarded as a slightly weaker type of Spikenard when compared to Indian Spikenard, the latter of which was also commonly used for Liver obstruction. Therefore, Indian Spikenard (Nardostachys jatamansi) may be used in its place.
