Nutmeg

Nutmeg is the seed, or the ground spice made from it, of the fragrant nutmeg tree, a dark-leaved evergreen native to the Banda Islands of Indonesia. Wikipedia says the tree gives two spices from its fruit, nutmeg from the seed and mace from the seed covering, and that it is also a source of nutmeg essential oil and butter. Cunningham gives it the planet Jupiter and the element fire, and links it to luck, money, health and fidelity. Kynes, who treats nutmeg and mace together, adds divination, fertility, healing, justice, love and prosperity, with the signs Leo, Pisces and Sagittarius. Cunningham's folk names are Qoust, Sadhika, Wohpala and Bicuiba Acu. Both Cunningham and the AHPA handbook record hazards: Cunningham marks it as not recommended for internal use and not to be taken internally in high doses, and the handbook says five grams or more of unroasted nutmeg has been associated with poisoning.
