Nutmeg Oil

Nutmeg Oil

Nutmeg is a spice made from the seed of the nutmeg tree (Myristica fragrant), a native Indonesian evergreen tree that is the source of two popular spices: nutmeg and mace. Nutmeg is the inner seed, while mace is the red, lace-like substance that covers the seed. It is sold either ground or in whole seeds. Indonesia produces the majority of world's nutmeg. Historically, grated nutmeg was used as a sachet, and the Romans used it as incense.

Nutmeg oil is used in several dental products because of its antibacterial properties. Nutmeg is a rich source of antioxidants, which help protect against the signs of aging.
