Get cozy with nutmeg.
If you’re looking for another essential oil to tag in when you are looking for them warm, cozy vibes, you have come to the right place. Meet nutmeg. Warming and woody, nutmeg (Myristica fragrans) essential oil is reminiscent of the holidays – tis the season! While commonly used for emotional comfort and strength, historically it’s been used to calm digestive upset – interesting, eh?
What does nutmeg look like?
Nutmeg essential oil is steam distilled from the nutmeg seed. The nutmeg tree produces fruit, and once the fruit ripens it opens and reveals mace – uh, ok? Within the mace hides the nutmeg seed, which is steam distilled to produce nutmeg essential oil – ok, get it now. It is a very thin consistency and clear color.
Where does it come from?
Nutmeg's native home is India and Indonesia. Aura Cacia Nutmeg specifically comes from Indonesia.
