Health Benefits Nutmeg

Nutmeg is known to be a healing spice. Studies suggests that nutmeg:
  • lowers blood pressure 
  • eases stomach cramps and gets rid of gas
  • stimulates brain activity and relieves stress 
  • carries anti inflammatory properties to treat joint and muscle pain 
  • helps dissolving kidney stones
  • encourages appetite
NOTE: It is very important to acknowledge that one should only consume nutmeg in low doses. In fact,  nutmeg in very large doses can cause nausea, dehydration and body pain. Never consume more the 30 grams of nutmeg / day (approximately 5 tablespoons).
