The aroma of nutmeg is one we all know and love. It evokes a warm, comforting feeling and makes us think of fall and winter seasons. This spice is so loved, that it once sparked a war over who could control its commerce. In Ayurvedic medicine, nutmeg oil was used for respiratory troubles, fevers, headaches, digestive upset, and more. These days, you’ll find nutmeg essential oil used in natural dental products, soaps, skincare products, and ointments, as well as in aromatherapy.

Ingredients: Myristica Fragrans (Nutmeg) Kernel Oil

FAQs About Plant Therapy Nutmeg Essential Oil

Q: Does nutmeg essential oil need to be diluted before I put it on my skin? A: Yes. Don’t put this one on your skin undiluted. Plant Therapy recommends a maximum topical dilution of 0.8%, so you’d use only a very small amount in a carrier oil.

Q: How would I use this for an upset stomach or sluggish digestion? A: Dilute it first, then rub it on your abdomen. The brand says to mix Nutmeg into a carrier oil and massage it onto your belly in clockwise circles.

Q: Can I put this in a bath for sore muscles and joints? A: Yes, but don’t add the oil straight to the bath water. Mix a couple of drops into 1 ounce of milk or 1 teaspoon of carrier oil first. Then stir that into 1/2 cup of Epsom salts and add it to a warm bath.

Q: What's actually in this oil? A: There’s just one ingredient: Myristica fragrans, which is nutmeg kernel oil. No blend, and no extra oils are listed.

Q: Is this safe for kids? A: No. This one is not child safe. Keep it well out of reach, and don’t use it on children.

Q: I've heard nutmeg oil can be toxic. Is that true? A: Yes, if you use too much, that can be a concern. I’d stick to very small, well-diluted amounts and never put it on skin undiluted.

Q: Should I use this if I'm pregnant or nursing? A: Check with your doctor first. The caution section says to consult a physician, and if you’re pregnant or nursing, I’d want your OB or midwife to weigh in before you start using this one.
