Native to Indonesia, nutmeg is an evergreen tree cultivated for two spices derived from its fruit: nutmeg, from its seed, and mace, from the seed covering. Nutmeg has been prized since medieval times as a culinary flavoring and for use in herbal preparations. Nutmeg essential oil has a warm, spicy aroma that is energizing and uplifting to the senses. Numeg Vitality contains antioxidants, may support cognitive function and the immune system, and offers cleansing properties when taken as a dietary supplement.
Benefits & Uses

Add a few drops of nutmeg to your mouthwash or right on top of your dollop of toothpaste before brushing.
