Nutmeg Myristica fragrans

Nutmeg – Myristica fragrans (West Indian)
Steam distilled seeds. Used for almost everything in Grenada, from aiding with muscular pain, headaches, sprains, strains and fatigue. It is diluted with carrier oil and applied externally for these conditions. The Grenadians say that it invigorates the mind and heightens dream state. The whole island has a dreamy effect and nutmeg is one of the dominant scents. The West Indian Nutmeg (Grenadian) is much safer than the East Indian variety. Avoid in pregnancy, with pets, babies and children. Do not take internally.
