Nutmeg Essential Oil is a colorless to pale-yellow liquid and is reputed to attract financial prosperity. The nutmeg tree is a tropical evergreen, native to the West Indies, which grows up to a height of 80 feet but does not bear fruit until it is 8 years old. Like an apricot, the large, fleshy nutmeg fruit split open when they are ripe to reveal the kernel (or nut) that is wrapped in a bright-red, net-like mace.
A very powerful stimulant and tonic, nutmeg has been included in numerous unguents, balms, spirits, and elixirs since the medieval times.
