Remedies For: Rubefacient, irritant, stimulant, diuretic, emetic., pungent, laxative, digestive.
This well known spice has its use in medicine as a stimulating external application. The rubefacient action causes a mild irritation to the skin, stimulating the circulation in that area and relieving muscular and skeletal pain. Its stimulating, diaphoretic action can be utilized in the way that Cayenne and Ginger are. For feverishness, colds, and influenza, Mustard may be taken as a tea or ground and sprinkled into a bath. The stimulation of circulation will aid chilblains as well as the conditions already mentioned. An infusion or poultice of Mustard will aid in cases of bronchitis.

Answer 2

You can probably find black mustard seeds in an Indian Market or a health food store. They can be added to stews and sauces for a zip, or ground into prepared mustard, similar to the yellow prepared mustard we commonly see.

Mustard (white, yellow and black) can be used externally to treat musculoskeletal pain. It can also be used to treat bronchitis, fever, cold and flu.
