Essential Oil – Nutmeg

• A heavy, sweet, and spicy-woody aroma.
• It is much richer and "duskier" than Mace.
• It opens with a potent, peppery punch, followed by a warm, nutty heart that feels incredibly familiar and "baking-spicy."
• It has a deep, musky dry-down with a hint of sweet earthiness. It smells "dense"—reminiscent of a cozy kitchen in winter, but with a sharp, medicinal edge that reminds you of its potency

• Relieving Flatulence & Cramps: Nutmeg is a powerful carminative that helps settle the stomach, expel gas, and ease abdominal griping.
• Stimulating Sluggish Digestion: Helps the body process food more efficiently and can be useful for chronic constipation.
• Nausea Relief: Its warming properties help soothe feelings of nausea, particularly when related to motion sickness or morning sluggishness.
• Appetite Support: Often used for those recovering from illness to help spark an interest in food.

Muscular & Joint Comfort

• Managing Arthritis & Rheumatism: Provides deep, penetrating warmth that helps soothe the "cold" ache of chronic joint pain and improves localized circulation.
• Relieving Muscle Spasms: Acts as an antispasmodic, making it highly effective for treating "charley horses," backaches, and sports-related muscle tightness.
• Neuralgia Support: Helps dull the sharp pain associated with nerve-related discomfort when massaged (highly diluted) into the affected area.
• Menstrual Relief: Helps ease the heavy, dragging pain of menstrual cramps and supports a regular cycle.

Mental & Emotional Vitality

• Combatting Adrenal Fatigue: Nutmeg is considered an "adrenal tonic," helping to restore energy to those feeling burnt out or chronically exhausted.
• Sharpens Concentration: Helps clear "brain fog" and provides a mental "spark" during long periods of study or repetitive work.
• Overcoming Self-Doubt: Spiritually used to help individuals overcome feelings of inadequacy and find the "willpower" to move forward.
• Sleep Aid (Low Dose): While stimulating in moderate doses, a very tiny amount can actually help relax the nervous system for better sleep.

Immune & Physical Support

• Warming the Body: Excellent for those who "feel the chill" or suffer from poor circulation in their hands and feet.
• Respiratory Tonic: Helps clear congestion and provides a warming effect on the lungs during the later stages of a cold.

• Use with Moderation.
• Nutmeg is very powerful. High doses can be psychoactive or neurotoxic due to the myristicin content.
• For topical application, always keep dilutions low (0.5% to 1%) and avoid use during pregnancy or with children under the age of 5.
