Of dry seeds. Of temperature, Weixin, spleen, stomach, large intestine through. Wen BOC gas, Shibuya intestinal diarrhea. Deficiency for the spleen and stomach, more than Jiuxie, Zhongwan abdominal distension pain, eat less vomiting [1]. Main produced in Malaysia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and other countries, in addition to the West Indies has also produced, In addition, our past, only in Taiwan, Yunnan, nutmeg cultivation in recent years, large-scale introduction in Hainan success, but mostly import-based medicine [2 ]. The main ingredients of nutmeg essential oil and fatty oil, including volatile oil content of 8% to 15%, fat oil content of 25% ~ 46% [3], Pharmacopoeia volatile oil content of not less than 6.0% (ml / g), In recent years, the chemical composition of its volatile oil and cooked before and after the chemical composition changes and their pharmacological effect of volatile oil is more coverage, but a synthesis of volatile oil, have not been reported, this paper studies on the volatile oil situation are reviewed. 1 Nutmeg essential oil chemical constituents of Health Products Research Health products currently nutmeg chemical constituents of volatile oil is more coverage, the majority using GC-MS. Guoxi Sheng et al [4] prepared by the auto-rotating gas chromatography and centrifugal TLC isolated seven compounds were identified through the spectra and physico-chemical constants as β pinene, γ -terpinene, terpinen-4-ol, nutmeg ether, sassafras ether, A butyric fragrant balsam prime phenol and rugby. Tie-Lin Li et al [5] through the internal cardamom essential oil by gas chromatography / mass spectrometry computer, detection, characterization identified 32 kinds
