Botanical Name: Myristica fragrans Botanical Family: Myristicaceae
· Extraction Method: Steam Distillation
· Part Used: Dried Seeds (Kernels)
· Aroma Note: Middle
Nutmeg is a large evergreen tree native to the Molucca Islands (the "Spice Islands"). It is unique because it produces two distinct spices: Nutmeg from the seed, and Mace from the red lacy outer covering. The essential oil has a warm, spicy, and nutty aroma with a distinct sweet-woody undertone. In aromatherapy, Nutmeg is prized as a powerful stimulant, especially for the digestive and reproductive systems. It is an "action" oil, designed to get stagnant energy moving again.
Analgesic, Antiseptic, Antispasmodic, Aphrodisiac, Carminative, Digestive, Emmenagogue, Laxative, Parturient (aids childbirth), Stimulant, Tonic.
· Skin: Rarely used in general skincare, though it can be found in small amounts in lotions to support circulation.
· Respiratory: Not a primary respiratory oil, but it can act as a tonic to the lungs during recovery from illness.
· Digestive: Flatulence, indigestion, nausea, and sluggish digestion. It is one of the most effective oils for "jump-starting" a digestive system that has become lazy or cold.
· Circulatory/Muscular: Muscular aches and pains, arthritis, and rheumatism. Like Ginger and Black Pepper, it is a warming rubefacient that helps ease the pain of cold, stiff joints.
· Genito-Urinary: Sluggish menstruation and period pains. Historically, it was also used to support contractions during childbirth (under professional supervision).
· Nervous System: Mental fatigue and nervous exhaustion. It is a sharp stimulant that "wakes up" the brain.
Nutmeg is the "Oil of Enthusiasm." It is perfect for those who have lost their spark or feel emotionally "bland." It helps to rekindle the fire of passion and creativity. If you are stuck in a mental rut or feeling "cold" toward life, Nutmeg provides the necessary kick to move forward with vigor and excitement.
1. "Fire & Ice" Muscle Massage: Mix 2 drops of Nutmeg and 3 drops of Peppermint in 1 tablespoon of carrier oil. Massage into tight, "frozen" shoulders to stimulate blood flow and release tension.
2. Concentration Anchor: When feeling mentally drained during a project, inhale Nutmeg directly from the bottle. Its spicy sharpness helps to re-energize the brain's focus.
3. Winter Digestive Rub: Mix 1 drop of Nutmeg with a teaspoon of carrier oil and massage the abdomen in a clockwise direction after a heavy, rich winter meal to aid digestion.
The "Vitality Boost" Blend Diffuse in the morning to shake off lethargy and prepare for a busy day
· 2 drops Nutmeg

Bay, Black Pepper, Clary Sage, Coriander, Geranium, Lime, Mandarin, Melissa, Orange, Petitgrain, and Rosemary.
Use in extreme moderation. Nutmeg is a very powerful oil and can be toxic in high doses (due to myristicin content). It may cause skin irritation; always dilute to 1% or less. Avoid during pregnancy. It should not be used by those with epilepsy or by children under the age of 5.
Available sizes: 13ml
