Product Abstract: Nutmeg Essential Oil is derived from an evergreen tree capable of growing 20 meters in height. It produces a fleshy red fruit that is then dried. The exterior husk is dried and produces Mace, while the seeds produce Nutmeg. It has been prized as a culinary spice in ancient China, for embalming by the ancient Egyptians, and by the 8th century was commonly used in Britain. In the 12th century, Hildegard of Bingen cited it in her herbal, the first known textbook on the medicinal use of herbs. Today it is used by the food and cosmetics industries, as well as aromatherapists and naturopathic practitioners.
Cautions: Dilute before use; for external use only. May cause skin irritation in some individuals; a skin test is recommended prior to use. If used in large amounts, Nutmeg Essential Oil can cause toxic symptoms such as nausea and tachycardia. Contact with eyes should be avoided.
Storage: It is recommended that oils packaged in metal containers (for safe shipping) be transferred into dark glass containers to maintain freshness and attain maximum shelf life.

Rating: I wasn't too sure about the scent of this one. But I added it to my rollon for joint pain, and it really seems to help! It's about warming and anti inflammatory.

Rating: Felt that this last order of all the oils in my order were off and possibly defective, all had a medicinal smell and nothing like their name. Even though I suspect batches were defective company still made me pay for the return courier of $32.00
Rating: Smells almost just like nutmeg powder. A bit more fresh then the powder.

Rating: This went into a M&P Soap, and made it smell like heaven in a bar. If you are making products for Christmas, you would be silly not to purchase this oil! Wonderful quality!

Rating: This is definately greener than the spice - if you were after the nutmeg spice scent try the mace EO instead.

Rating: A bit less complex and more "green" than fresh nutmeg, but still a wonderful scent. I'll probably continue to use freshly grated nutmeg in my soap, but I could see using this in an oil blend. It would blend beautifully with both warmer, spicy smells and with more herbaceous oils.

Rating: Awesome !
It's earthy yet light, from up close the scent is biting and fresh very woodsy and mysterious. From a little distance it smells medicinal, calming and soothing, less overpowering than I expected. With some distance we find that burnt wood rosewood like smell, with very colorful and sweet overtones.
Rating: This essential oil is a must in a soap full of honey and beeswax. It is one of my best sellers. AND it is hard to find it ! Thank you again to New Directions

Rating: mix with benzoin and cardamom, and voila! Instant holiday scent. this EO is pretty strong too, so a little goes a long way. This will not disappoint!
By:Lucie, Calgary, Alberta Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2008
Rating: This reminds me of a classier version of coffee. Similar to the cooking scent. Slightly musky, and reminiscent of burnt wood. On the bitter side. Good EO, long lasting in natural perfume.

Rating: Probably more rich than the nutmeg you are used to, this one is of superb quality and wonderful for a warming blend. Really nice during the holidays and especially useful in the cold winters.
