Nutmeg Love Lives In Your Spice Cupboard: Ease Digestion, Relax, Sleep!
So many gifts live in our spice cupboards! We know them for their flavors, yet these robust aromatics also offer plenty of therapeutic actions. Today we’ll tap the gift of nutmeg.
Nutmeg, scientifically called Myristica fragrans (Myristicaceae), is native to the Banda Islands, aka the “Spice Islands,” located within the Moluccas archipelago of Indonesia.
Nutmeg Gifts: helps us digest food (carminative), relaxant, sleep helper, hypotensive (bring down blood pressure), aphrodisiac, heart opener + more.
Flavor & Energetics: very aromatic, spicy, warm, cooling, drying, stimulating, bitter, opening, moving, clearing, mildly numbing. Add it to food and drink, in savory or sweet offerings. Stews, soups, chai, milk, cream or coconut dishes, etc.
Freshly Grated Nutmeg vs Pre-Ground
Best to use the freshly grated nutmeg as we don’t know how long ago the grinding happened. Remember once we powder / grind an herb we hasten its oxidation process (which causes loss of flavor, color, aromatics, therapeutic constituents).
Nutmeg Dosage: Very safe range is 500 milligrams = ½ gram = ¼ teaspoon. Some herbalists use up to 1 teaspoon (= 2 grams) in recipes. I suggest staying under 1 teaspoon. 1 whole nutmeg seed weighs about 6 grams = 3 teaspoons finely ground. If the dosage is ½ gram or ¼ teaspoon, then 1 whole nutmeg should last about 12 days.
Warning: Ingesting more than 5 grams can affect the central nervous system negatively. That would mean eating a whole nutmeg seed (6 grams), or 3 teaspoons of finely powdered nutmeg. Don’t do this!
Do not consume large quantities when pregnant or nursing.

I love this spice, I have it before bed in hot milk along with cinnamon, cardomman, ginger and turmeric. It is also lovely grated in homemade winter soups and stews, you only need a little though.

Thank you Diana. I’ve always loved when my local coffee shop grates real nutmeg on top of my chai ☕️. It’s become a ritual. Now hearing your video you’ve inspired me to make some warming nutmeg drinks at home. Cheers 💚🍯

Nutmeg and vanilla in warm coconut milk is so cozy after dinner. I like nutmeg as a digestive spice because it doesn’t make me sweat like some of the other digestives.

Oh, you are lucky to have so much intact nutmeg, and that it still has mace on it. I must say that I don't have access to mace and have not used it much.

Hello Jane! Nice friend who can bring you fresh nutmeg from Grenada. Not sure how long the nutmeg seed stays fragrant and useful. Can you grate some and see if it still has any flavor and aroma left in it? What does it taste and smell like? Does it seem sawdust-like?

Hi Dina.. I stumbled over ur video.. I see u don’t like using nutmeg in powder, but I live in rural area my grocery store don’t carry the nut . so I wonder how much u think to use in drink since it not fresh.. my brand is McCormick.. I never knew it good for digestion.. Ik ginger good for digestion and migraines , I can get ginger root fresh here , I enjoy that better then powder … I do enjoy ur channel.. love to hear more of the diff spices used for medicine purposes. I’m going to look thru u videos, I trying to find info on turmeric I heard it good for inflammation, I try using powder and herbal teas,but not much of results .. can’t get this herb in grocery.. I’m on tight budget to buy online.. We do have Amish in our town but don’t know if they use this stuff or sell it.. Do u use SASSAFRAS ?? I remember my great grandma used it for colds back in day.. I can’t find that either some people say it illegal to have.. I don’t know.. thank u so much for ur lovely and pleasant atmosphere on ur channel very cozy and relaxing… God bless…

Thanks for your comment. Without tasting your nutmeg powder, I can't really comment on how much to use. Does it taste strong to you? If yes, then use the amount I suggest in the video (also see video text). If not, then add a touch more. Thanks for your suggestion on making more videos on spices...it's on my mind. I do love sassafras. I love the tree and its leaves for salad. I gather tender new leaves in the growing season. Be well.
