Regularly known as a spice that is often used in seasonal cooking, or even to flavor hot beverages, nutmeg has other uses that many aren't aware of - especially in its oil form. The nutmeg tree itself can get very tall, sometimes reaching up to 70 feet in the air.
The seed is where the flavor and benefits from the nutmeg tree fruit are derived from. Though used in powder form with regularity, nutmeg oil is becoming increasingly popular because of its many health benefits. Here are some of the uses of nutmeg oil.
Bad Breath
Many people who suffer from bad breath, or halitosis, do so because of poor oral hygiene, health issues or a germs that has taken root in the back of their mouth or throat. Due to the antibacterial properties of nutmeg, just a couple of drops in some warm water is a good way to amplify your oral care routine. Gargle with this mixture twice a day to keep bad breath at bay.
Indigestion
With the holidays fast approaching, you are probably excited about all the food that you'll be eating. Unfortunately, it's easy to overdo it around the holiday season because there's so much to choose from. You want to taste everything and food becomes so good that you can get a little careless with what you eat and how much of it you consume.
This leads to digestive issues. Discomfort, pain, bloating and diarrhea are some of the most common symptoms. A bit of nutmeg oil can help. Add a few drops to a carrier oil and rub it into your stomach. You can also add some drops to your bathwater after a long day of too much eating.
Skin Care
Due to its antiseptic and antibacterial properties, skin thrives off of this type of oil. It can even be used to help reduce and eliminate the signs of aging. Are you suffering from premature wrinkles, sagging, or dull skin? Well try adding this oil into your regimen and watch how your skin is transformed.
Many natural skincare products incorporate nutmeg into their products. You can simply add a couple of drops of the oil to your cleanser in order to get amazing results.
Sleep Aid
Getting enough sleep is so vital to the way that we function and handle ourselves throughout our day. When you have trouble sleeping, it can completely throw off your ability to perform at the level you need to. Insomnia and trouble staying asleep can feel downright hopeless. Prescription sleep aids are costly and can also be dangerous.
Just a few drops of nutmeg oil can help to relax the body and promote restful, deep sleep. A couple of drops mixed with coconut oil, rubbed on your chest and shoulders, will help soothe you and quiet your nerves. Nutmeg oil improves your quality of sleep and can be used nightly.
Try this method about 30 to 45 minutes before you intend on going to sleep. Make sure to take deep breaths once the oil has been applied.
