Nutmeg and mace are both from the same plant, but different parts of it.
The properties of nutmeg are: Aromatic, carminative (relieves flatulence), hallucinogenic, stimulant, expectorant (causes expulsion of mucus in respiratory tact -cough), sialagogue (promotes saliva), emmenagogue (promotes menstruation)
In small quantities, nutmeg acts to improve appetite and digestion.
Nutmeg oil is sometimes used to dispel flatulence. It is also used in ointments. Nutmeg is commonly used for seasoning foods. It helps prevent gas and fermentation in the intestinal tract. It is good for nausea and vomiting.
Caution - Eating as few as two nutmegs can cause death. Nutmeg is mildly hallucinogenic. In addition eating too much nutmeg can produce stomach pain, double vision, delirium, and other symptoms of poisoning.
