Got Nutmeg?

I came across this article and thought it was pretty interesting. A lot of times we talk about foods that have health benefits, but not so much the spices we can add to foods. And since it is fall, nutmeg is a nice, warm spice that can be added in lots of recipes. So enjoy this bit of information and add some spice to your life!

1. It zaps zits: Got a blemish? Mix a little milk with ground nutmeg to form a paste, then aply it to the trouble spot. Its ant-inflammatory effects will help reduce the redness and puffiness.

2. It soothes tummies:

3. It may help you catch more zzzs:
