Health Benefits of Nutmeg

Nutmeg is known as a common holiday spice used in many sweet and savory dishes.  

Nutmeg has been used in Ayurveda for its medicinal properties. Nutmeg helps improve digestive health. It also acts as a sedative and promotes relaxation, prevents insomnia and relieves stress.  

Nutmeg also helps relieve pain and inflammation. It also promotes heart health and boosts brain health. 

 Nutmeg is best consumed in moderation as with everything else. Too much of a good thing can lead to a bad thing.  It can cause adverse reactions if taken in high doses such as hallucinations, seizures, nausea, anxiety, dry mouth, redness, dizziness and blurred vision. 

Always consult your physician.
