Nutmeg: A Scientific Treasure with Aphrodisiac Properties

30/12/2024

Nutmeg, a delicately aromatic spice cherished worldwide, has long drawn the attention of researchers for its remarkable biological properties. Among its many uses, its reputed aphrodisiac virtues have been the focus of numerous studies. This article delves into the scientific evidence supporting these claims while highlighting the uniqueness of nutmeg from the Comoros archipelago, an exceptional and rare variety. 

Scientific Evidence of Nutmeg's Aphrodisiac Properties

Pharmacological studies have revealed that nutmeg contains bioactive compounds capable of stimulating the central nervous system and enhancing libido. Among these compounds, myristicin and safrole play pivotal roles. These substances, found in high concentrations in nutmeg essential oil, promote relaxation, increase blood circulation, and act on neurotransmitters linked to desire and pleasure.

A study published in BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies confirmed that nutmeg extracts administered to animal models improve sexual behaviors, such as increased frequency and duration of interactions. These effects are attributed to the modulation of nitric oxide, a key molecule involved in vasodilation and the maintenance of arousal.
