Nutmeg

Season your way to better health with some nutmeg. The seeds are native to indonesia. I call this the fall spice because it is often used in carrot cake, puddings, sauces, eggnog etc. More than likely you have this in your cabinet never used it but is there. We are what we consume but we are what's inside of what we consume. Too often what we consume is high in calorie in low and nutrients. Which forces the body to constantly to consume throughout the day to get in nutrients.

When you think of drugs most of them are plants or a isolated component of plants. Myristicin is the chemical that gives nutmeg is potency. This also is found in parsley and deal and light amounts. In large amounts the same chemical can cause the sympathetic nervous system to experience hallucinations, nausea, vomiting, nervousness etc.

So if you plan on consuming nutmeg keep it under two teaspoons.

This spice is great for reducing the degeneration of the brain. While it's the same time helping boost energy, stimulate brain functions, reduced stress, improve focus etc. Great for helping with sleep issues especially insomnia. nutmeg and especially nutmeg oil is great for helping with oral health. If you mix nutmeg with a carrier oil such as olive, grapeseed, avocado, black seed etc assists as a natural skin screen. If you have diarrhea consuming this spice with water can help.
