NUTMEG
myristica fragrans {10ml}
Product Summary
Nutmeg Essential Oil is a powerful anti-inflammatory useful in supporting the body with arthritis, rheumatism, and other muscular or joint pains. Its potent medicinal properties are also helpful for stress, menstrual cramps, heart disorders, low blood pressure, coughs, and halitosis (bad breath). *
Nutmeg is widely used as a natural flavoring in baked goods, syrups, beverages, and sweets. Frequently, Nutmeg essential oil is used to replace ground nutmeg, as it leaves no particles in food products. It is also used in toothpastes and as a major ingredient in some commercial cough syrup formulas. *
In traditional Chinese medicine, Nutmeg is used for disorders related to both the nervous and digestive systems. Its digestive properties make it helpful for indigestion, flatulence, vomiting, and diarrhea, and its stimulant properties make it a good choice for those who need to increase appetite.*
