Personal Experience, Research, Possible Actions

Nutmeg is most useful as a digestive tonic and stimulant. The spice is traditionally added to food to support digestion and to reduce gas after eating a heavy meal and for nausea. It can be useful for reducing diarrhea.

The oil is helpful to reduce the swelling and pain in arthritis and rheumatism. I like to add it into a cream or oil (at no more then 1%-5-6 drops of Nutmeg in one oz. of carrier oil) to help reduce the pain in swollen joints and muscles.
