Discover the captivating aroma of 100% pure and natural Nutmeg Essential Oil, steam distilled from the nuts of the Myristica fragrans tree. Revered for centuries, this rich, spicy oil has a storied past that spans continents and civilizations.

Originating from the lush landscapes of Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and Grenada, the nutmeg tree is a resilient evergreen that blooms for the first time after seven years and can live beyond a century. Its aromatic nuts have enchanted cultures for generations, with traces even found in ancient Egyptian sarcophagi.

During the Middle Ages, nutmeg was one of the most prized spices, treasured for its intoxicating scent and versatile uses. It was a key ingredient in Hippocrates’ famous Hypocras wine, a spiced tonic celebrated for its invigorating qualities.

This essential oil captures the warmth and complexity of nutmeg's history. Its earthy, spicy aroma makes it a fantastic choice for enhancing relaxation, inspiring creativity, or adding a unique twist to culinary creations.

Uses:

  • Adds rich, comforting notes to diffusers and massage blends.
