If you like pumpkin pie, then you’re very familiar with nutmeg! But do you know where it comes from? The fruit of the Myristica fragrans tree produces two different spices. The red outer shell, when dried, becomes mace. The inner nut is nutmeg. Our nutmeg essential oil is steam-distilled from these nuts grown in Indonesia.
Nutmeg is a potent warming oil, and in very small quantities can help to revitalize and warm through application or massage. Aromatically, nutmeg brings warmth and a deep scent of spice. Diffuse, mix into blends, or apply in 2-5% dilution. Like its powdered counterpart, Nutmeg essential oil pops when combined with others. It does well when blended with Lavender, Clary Sage, Geranium, Orange, Black Pepper, and other spice-derived oils.
