What is nutmeg used for? Nutmeg, a pungent and warm, slightly sweet-tasting spice, is used to flavor many kinds of baked goods, confections, puddings, potatoes, meats, sausages, sauces, vegetables, and such beverages as eggnog. Sleep quality: Nutmeg is believed to have mild sedative properties, and when combined with the soothing and comforting qualities of warm milk, it may contribute to improved sleep quality. Digestive comfort: Both nutmeg and milk have been traditionally used to soothe the digestive system. Nutmeg oil is used in several dental products. The spice has antibacterial properties that have proven particularly effective against oral pathogens that cause disease and bad breath. Nutmeg is a vital member of any mixed spice but is especially good combined with cinnamon, the two of them creating an almost perfect welcoming, warming aroma. One study found that nutmeg acted as a potential antidepressant in male rats, and the spice has been used for its invigorating properties in folk medicine.
