Why I love Nutmeg

Nutmeg has a taste unlike any other spice in the world. It can be used for many different treatments: pain relief, lowering cholesterol, improving memory and sexual desire, relieving anxiety, indigestion, even reducing wrinkles. 

For pain relief, massage nutmeg oil on the joints. It will reduce inflammation (the start of all disease), to help ease muscular and joint pain. It is very effective for reducing the painful swelling of joints in arthritis.

Used in small doses, nutmeg can help indigestion by reducing flatulence, aid digestion, improve the appetite and treat diarrhea, vomiting and nausea. Nutmeg has been found to reduce total and LDL ("bad") cholesterol.

Nutmeg is a relaxant, therefore it helps relieve anxiety and depression. So be generous with your applications of nutmeg: use it in baking, sprinkle it in your hot drinks, rub the oil into the skin.

Adding small benefits to the diet daily will improve the overall health of the body. Nutmeg is just one of these beneficial ingredients.
