肉豆蔻含挥发油（肉豆蔻醚、榄香素）及固定油，现代研究报道抗腹泻、抗菌、抗炎及中枢作用；过量有神经毒性及幻觉风险，故多煨用并严格控制剂量。
Nutmeg (Myristica) contains volatile oil rich in myristicin and elemicin plus a fixed oil (trimyristin), with antidiarrheal, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and central effects in preclinical work. Overdose risks neurotoxicity and hallucinations, so it is usually dry-roasted (wei) and dosed conservatively.
