10 ml Nutmeg Essential Oil

Nutmeg Essential Oil — 10ml

Nutmeg — Myristica fragrans — is native to the Banda Islands of Indonesia, and was once so prized that it drove the European spice trade and shaped the course of colonial history. Steam-distilled from the dried seed of the nutmeg fruit, the essential oil carries a warm, spicy, woody aroma with a sweet, slightly camphorous depth that is both invigorating and comforting. It has been used in Ayurvedic medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, and European herbal practice for centuries for its warming, analgesic, and digestive properties. In small amounts it is stimulating and uplifting; in excess it can be narcotic — a reminder of its extraordinary potency.
