Aromatherapy with Nutmeg essential oil

Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans) has a sweet, warm, spicy scent similar to the spice commonly used in cooking.... but richer and more fragrant.



Invigorates and stimulates the mind. Indicated for extreme tiredness and used in massage blends for aching joints because of its warming property. Not recommended for skin care.

Did you know that Nutmeg contains myristicin, a known hallucinogen? It does, but before you get scared off here are the facts. Nutmeg contains 4% myristicin and it has no contraindications as a constituent in the plant.  Nutmeg essential oil was a vital part of Chinese Medicine.

Nutmeg essential oils is a mid range priced essential oil. You should be able to purchase an ounce for under $20.00

Have a great day!
