Nutmeg was used by the ancient Romans and Greeks as a brain tonic. Today it has been shown that:
- stimulates brain activity.
- nutmeg has strong antibacterial properties, effective in killing a number of cavity-causing bacteria in the mouth.
- like cinnamon and cloves, it contains eugenols, a compound that helps to kill microbes, including candida yeast.
- in Arab countries nutmeg is used as an aphrodisiac. Hmmm…..
