Is it permissible to use nutmeg in ointments applied to the skin?

Nutmeg is an intoxicant, and it is unlawful to consume it, but it is pure. It is permissible to use it in medicines and ointments, because jurists have unanimously agreed on the purity of solid intoxicants and the permissibility of using them externally for medicinal purposes, as long as intoxication is not intended.
