TINDERBOX Nutmeg Essential Oil 15mL

Description

Myristica fragrans

Nutmeg was a much prized spice used throughout history, for numerous medications and also in cooking – including desserts, baking, hot drinks and liqueurs. The essential oil is steam distilled from the worm-eaten nutmeg seed (the worms eat the starch and fat in the seed) to obtain a sweet, warm-spicy scent with a terpene-like top note. Brings warmth and energy and assuages aches when used in liniments and massage blends. Great for a happy gut – stimulating, eases gas, breaks down starch and fats. Stimulating and warming to the chest.
