Have antibacterial properties

It has been demonstrated that nutmeg possesses antibacterial properties against bacterial types that might be dangerous. Gum disease and dental caries can be brought on by bacteria like Streptococcus mutans and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. Nutmeg extract displayed potent antibacterial activity against Porphyromonas gingivalis and other germs, according to a test-tube investigation. It is well known that these bacteria cause gum irritation and cavities.

Additionally, hazardous forms of E. coli bacteria, including O157, which may result in serious disease and even death in humans, have been shown to be inhibited by nutmeg. Although it is obvious that nutmeg has antibacterial qualities, additional research on people is required to ascertain whether or not it may treat bacterial infections or prevent oral health problems caused by bacteria in humans.
