What is Nutmeg Essential Oil?

Do you think of your grandmother when you think of nutmeg? Who loved to sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg over everything? Or do you think of Sinterklaas, gingerbread cookies and speculaas... Either way: nutmeg smells wonderful and immediately puts you in a homely mood.

The essential oil of Myristica Fragrans, the official name for nutmeg, is obtained through steam distillation and relaxes body and mind.

Benefits

Hygge

Hygge is not only the Danish word for 'coziness', but also the way the Danes get through the dark winter. And that's exactly what the scent of nutmeg, which reminds you a bit of freshly baked cookies, helps you with! Body and mind relax and you feel carried by the warming scent.

Positivity

The scent of nutmeg makes you a real homebody. You feel creative and want to craft, bake and make your house cozy. This immediately makes you feel much more positive, because suddenly it's not so bad anymore that it's raining and dark early!

Soothes tension and emotions

Nutmeg is warming and mildly pain-relieving, which is why the oil can help with changing moods during the menstrual cycle, but also with gloominess, stress and fatigue.

How do you use it?

Process Nutmeg Essential Oil in a massage oil, bath oil or other DIY care product. Or evaporate a few drops in the diffuser.

In the diffuser

Combine 4 drops Nutmeg Essential Oil with 3 drops Mandarin Essential Oil and 1 drop Ginger Essential Oil. Breathe in the relaxing, cozy scent deeply!

What is so special about Nutmeg?

Nutmeg Essential Oil is distilled from the seeds and fruits of the Nutmeg tree, which is found mainly in Indonesia. The tree is green all year round and has beautiful yellow flowers.
