Mace Oil

Mace oil is derived from the dried aril surrounding the seed of the Myristica fragrans Houtt tree, which is the same tree that produces nutmeg. Obtained through steam distillation, this pale yellow to reddish yellow oil possesses a sweet, spicy, and slightly woody aroma. Its main constituents include sabinene, a-pinene, myrcene, limonene, 1,8-cineole, terpinene-4-ol, myristicin, y-terpinene, and safrole.

The oil has impressive benefits when used in topical aromatherapy, particularly for the treatment of arthritis and rheumatism. It is also considered useful for conditions such as fatigue and anxiety. Mace oil adds a sweet, warm, and pleasant flavor to sweet dishes, making it a popular choice in culinary applications.

Furthermore, it is used in traditional medicine as a therapeutic oil, offering anti-fungal, anti-depressant, aphrodisiac, digestive, and carminative properties. Mace oil aids in building appetite, relieving bloating, constipation, and gas-related problems. It is known for its potential to prevent the development of kidney stones, treat colds and coughs, effectively combat bad breath, and protect teeth from dental issues.
