Nutmeg (Myristica Fragrans) is the common name for the plant.

The essential oil of nutmeg is obtained through steam distillation of its seeds and has the well-known strong spice aroma.

It is an excellent soothing agent, easing musculoskeletal pain and joint pain. In Chinese medicine, it is recommended for treating abdominal pain and inflammation, as well as joint swelling.

It relieves menstrual cramps.

It is effective for indigestion, bloating, vomiting, and diarrhea, helping to expel air from the stomach and intestines.

It improves blood circulation, is cardiotonic, and effectively addresses respiratory problems. It enhances the proper function of the urinary system and helps dissolve kidney stones.

It enhances mental clarity, strengthens and stimulates the mind, and improves concentration. It is an aphrodisiac, a powerful tonic for the nervous system, and relieves muscle pain.

The woody aroma of nutmeg helps eliminate bad breath. It has antiseptic properties and is effective for toothaches and gum pain, which is why it is added to many toothpaste and mouthwash products.

As an antibacterial and antiseptic, it is used in many cosmetics and soaps intended for dull, oily, or wrinkled skin.

Warning:

Essential oils are natural, effective, and particularly pleasant to use. Their therapeutic properties can benefit anyone. However, they should be treated as medicines with caution and care, following the recommended dosage.

• Essential oils should not be used for internal consumption (except for oregano, thyme, basil, and mint essential oils) and without a doctor’s advice.
• During pregnancy, especially in the first 5 months of gestation.
• By individuals suffering from hypertension.
• By individuals with severe nervous disorders.
• On infants (children under one year old).

Essential oils should be used with caution in the following cases:

• Some essential oils (e.g., Bergamot, Neroli, Lemon, etc.) can cause skin photosensitivity to UV rays. Generally, we recommend avoiding exposure to strong sunlight for 4 hours after aromatherapy (massage).
• Essential oils should be used diluted in a base (e.g., carrier oil) when applied to the skin. We recommend not using undiluted essential oils on the skin.
• “Vulnerable” age groups (children and people over 60) should use essential oils in reduced proportions.
