Nux moschata
is extracted from the seed of Myristica fragrans, a tree in the Myristicaceae family. This seed is more commonly called nutmeg. It is found mainly in the Moluccas and in a large number of islands in the Indian Ocean. This is why in English, Nux Mostacha is still called the Nut of the Moluccas. It is the kernel of the walnut that is used in the production of Nux moschata. It contains a very pungent essence that the inhabitants of some islands use as a condiment. In homeopathy, Nux moschata belongs to the category of so-called diathetic remedies. It can effectively treat several diseases, including disorders related to the psyche.
Behavioural disorders
