Mustard has many healing properties and in addition to the well-known mustard is used as a decoction, broth, flour, oil (mustard oil), infusion, poultice, etc.
The useful parts of mustard are the seeds of all three species.
It is excellent as a spice but if we suffer from an ulcer better to forget it. From a medical point of view, white mustard is essentially useful in case of chronic constipation, provided that the person concerned takes small doses and does not show the slightest irritation to the digestive system. Be careful, because if consumed in large quantities it causes diarrhea.
From this mustard the pharmaceutical industry produces essential oil from which we can drink half a spoon at every meal. It also has excellent diuretic properties and in gargling helps with the irritation of the tonsils, cough and laryngitis. Black mustard is the basis of poultices. But we should not exaggerate because its seeds in large doses are poisonous. It also has all the properties of white, but it also has others. It is tonic, lowers fever, fights scurvy. If necessary, it causes life-saving vomiting. All this is nothing compared to the fact that black mustard remains a very popular antiseptic. We use it as a poultice, compress, local baths, lotions, etc., for various infections and inflammations of internal organs. Poultices in the sore part soften the pain of neuralgia and rheumatism. Dizziness, weak heart, asthma, back pain, lumbago, sciatic nerve neuritis, toothache, painful menstruation, get smaller thanks to the treatment with black mustard.
