Nutmeg Oil Description

Nutmeg has the characteristic Spicy, warm, and nutty fragrance of whole nutmegs. Nutmeg oil is distilled from whole, dried nutmegs that have been cut into small particles and pressed to remove the fixed oil, also known as nutmeg butter. Nutmeg provides a warming, activating ingredient in massage oils, without the potentially irritating effects of other spice oils. It helps to relieve soreness in overworked muscles, and works well as a base note in spicy blends and men's fragrances.

This tropical tree is found in the Moluccas, the Antilles, Sumatra, Java and India and grows to a height of 45 feet producing up to 2,000 nuts per year. The stone of the fruit is enclosed in a husk, when dried is known as mace.

Nutmeg is widely used in pain relieving ointments often in combination with peppermint, methyl salicylate and cloves. The oil is rubbed on the abdomen for stomachaches and on the forehead for headaches. Nutmeg oil is also effective against gas.
