Mustard (Brassica Alba) was used as a seasoning and medicinal remedy in ancient times. Mustard, in the form of mustard plaster and mustard paper, is intended to have an irritating and pain-relieving effect on rheumatism.
Although the plant does not resemble a tree as alluded to in the Bible, Brassica Alba apparently grows very large in a hot climate. Mustard and whole mustard seeds sharpen the appetite and stimulate the secretion of digestive juices in the small intestines, speeding up the digestive process.
As an added benefit, mustard is also a good remedy for hiccups. The French, who often eat wealthy foods, rely on mustard to cure heartburn.
Brassica Alba Seed Extract is a pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. White Mustard seed extract can be used in counter-irritant creams, toners, purifiers, and skin and muscle care products.Synonyms
