Nutmeg An Ancient Secret

This spice has been used for thousands of years as a medicine.  However, due to the rise of pharmaceutical companies, the benefits of nutmeg have been hidden and buried.  In this post I will list several reasons why you should add this amazing spice into your diet!

Insomnia

This spice is an old time remedy for sleep issues such as insomnia, or frequent waking throughout the night.  The most common way this spice is used to promote sleep is by adding it to a glass of warm milk (preferable raw) before bed.  It is a rich source of myristicin which inhibits secretion of stress inducing enzymes and also acts as a natural sedative.  However, don’t take more than a pinch at a time. It’s extremely and powerful and large doses can cause hallucinations.  Suggested use would be to add a pinch of this super spice to tea or a warm glass of milk before bed.

Nutmeg Improves Digestion

I believe that digestion is extremely important in maintaining health and well being and nutmeg is a spice that helps tremendously with digestion.  Remember, better digestion means better absorption of key minerals and nutrients.  It contains a host of key antioxidants and disease-preventing photochemical.   These compounds are gas-inhibitive and sooth the digestive tract for more comfortable digestion.

Nutmeg Increases Mood/Libido

This spice is a brain tonic and will help stimulate the brain.  It has been shown to increase dopamine levels, eliminate fatigue, increase natural testosterone production and help combat stress.   Consequently, this spice has been used for hundreds of years to battle depression/anxiety. It is able to do this because it increases Dopamine levels in the brain. It has also been used for centuries as an aphrodisiac.  Individuals who are experiencing low libido should most definitely incorporate nutmeg into their diets.

Pain Relief

Have a sore back or neck? How about a bad knee?  If so, this powerful spice is for you.  The main Chemicals found in nutmeg include sabiene, alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, myrcene, limonene, terpenes, safrole, and myristicin.  These compounds reduce pain naturally.  It also acts as sedative and allows your brain as well has muscles to relax when pain is present.  So next, time you’re reaching for the Tylenol, think of Nutmeg!

Testosterone

It has the ability to  increase the body’s natural testosterone production naturally.  Unfortunately, natural testosterone production decreases in men as they age which leads to a whole host of problems.  However, nutmeg can combat this problem. Furthermore, unlike testosterone therapy, nutmeg only maximums the body’s production of testosterone and normalizes it; whereas testosterone therapy doesn’t encourage the body to produce its own testosterone and will almost always lead to side effects.  Luckily, it doesn’t cause any of these side effects that testosterone therapy does and will work intelligently with your body to balance testosterone/estrogen levels.  It should be a staple in anyone’s diet suffering from low T or for anyone looking to boost natural T levels.
