Scientific Summary

Calabash nutmeg is the dried seed of the African tree **Monodora myristica**. It is traditionally used as a carminative and digestive aid, and its oil is sometimes added to folk remedies for colds and mild inflammation. Because the seeds contain psychoactive compounds, large or prolonged use can cause nausea, dizziness or hallucinations, so it should be used sparingly and avoided by pregnant women and children.
