Nutmeg essential oil is very effective in soothing joint pain, arthritis, and any sort of muscular pain in the body. It has anti-inflammatory properties and provides relief when applied on affected area. It is considered a necessary part of Chinese medicine to use nutmeg oil to treat inflammation and abdominal pain. It helps to reduce swelling in joints which can be caused due to overexertion, arthritis and in those situations, this oil can be a blessing. It has been verified by many holistic practitioners too. You must check out Luke Countiho’s video on Nutmeg oil to know real-life experiences in the improvement of health after using the oil.

Nutmeg Essential oil is steam distilled from the seeds of the Myristica fragrans plant. This plant mostly grows in Indonesia, Sri Lanka and India.

It has almost a warm, fresh, woody, spicy and pine-like aroma. Using it in Aromatherapy can have a hypnotic, uplifting effect and it is known to enhance imagination.

Fun Fact: Nostradamus used Nutmeg to enter deep trances for prophetic visions.

Energetically, it invigorates and stimulates the mind and can produce intense colourful dreams.

Many of Nutmeg Essential Oil's components help relieve pain and inflammation. Blend Nutmeg Essential oil in a base oil such as apricot essential oil or sesame and apply on the affected area.

Nutmeg is analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and warming, which means it can be used to prevent or relieve chronic rheumatic pain and swelling.

Few things you should know

• Fragrance oils aren’t Essential Oils (read labels carefully)
• Essential Oils are high concentrated, use them sparingly and carefully
• When Pregnant skip Essential oil usage, especially in the first trimester
• Always do a patch test, if you are allergic to the plant – you will be allergic to the EO
• Make sure you are using high quality 100% Pure Essential Oils
• Keep Essential Oils away from direct heat and sunlight and they can last over years!
• It’s perfectly fine to be confused when using EO’s the first time, reach out to people to clear your doubts
  
  The thumb rule to keep in mind for all Essential Oil usage is the dilution should be kept at 3%. Essential Oils are very strong and potent and should be used sparingly. Please maintain caution on usage.
