Aromatherapy:

  • Add 5–7 drops to a diffuser for cozy, relaxing ambiance and to help relieve stress or mental exhaustion.

Important in your medicine cabinet

I love to add two drops of Nutmeg oil to my night time Earl Grey tea together with 2 drops of Bergamot oil. It's calming to your mind and apparently great for hormone balance in us as ladies. According to some articles it also eases pain, digestive discomfort and menstrual cramps. I absolutely believe in using medicine from Mother Nature...
