Is Nutmeg Oil Safe?
Like with other essential oils, nutmeg plant oil is very concentrated and should never be used undiluted. Make sure that it is diluted with a carrier oil, such as olive oil, coconut oil, or almond oil. To check if you have sensitivities to this oil, I advise applying a drop of oil to a small area of your skin and observe for any adverse reactions.
Some parties are concerned about the use of nutmeg because of its myristicin content,23 which has hallucinogenic properties. Know that this chemical compound is only dangerous when isolated, and the essential oil only contains about 4 percent. Use the oil in moderation.
Because the oil can act as a stimulant, it should not be used by people with epilepsy. Pregnant women should also exercise caution. I urge you to consult a doctor before use. Children below six should be kept away from this essential oil, as they may experience sensitivities.24
Side Effects of Nutmeg Oil
Excessive use of nutmeg oil by inhalation or ingestion can lead to hallucinations, visual impairment, delirium, and prolonged sleep.25 It can act as a stimulant or a depressant of your central nervous system. Overdosing can lead to side effects, such as convulsions, vomiting, and delirium.
I recommend consulting your physician or a trained aromatherapist before using nutmeg essential oil or any herbal oil for that matter.
