I have  recently only been able to find Aralia racemosa as plant matter.
All the  Nardostachys grandiflora seems to be as  oil.

Background:  Aralia racemosa shares the name spikenard with other medicinal
plants; most  are unrelated, as is Nardostachys grandiflora: spikenard.

Its family,  Araliaceae, includes the ginsengs. Among tribes of eastern 
North
America  spikenard has been used for centuries and considered a specific  in
benefitting broncho-pulmonary tract conditions. It was used as  preventive
for general care and as a blood purifier.

But Herbco.com  is still listing Cubebs....

PS:  One other ingredient I'm having  difficulty with is spikenard.  All I
can find is oil.  I seem to  get the feeling that I should probably be using
the leaves as it is usually  lumped in with things like basil and cilantro.
Any  thoughts??
