Herb Information

Name: Mustard

Biological Name: Brassica alba, Brassica nigra, Sinapsis alba Cruciferae

Other Names: Mustard, Black Mustard, White Mustard, yellow mustard, kedlock, yellow mustard seed, white mustard seed

Parts Used: The Seeds

Active Compounds:

Glucosinolates; Black Mustard contains sinigrin, which on hydrolysis by the enzyme myrosin produces allyisothiocyanate, and White Mustard sinalbin, which produces p-hydroxybenzyl isothiocyanate

Miscellaneous; sinapine, sinapic acid, fixed oil, protein, mucilage etc.

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.

Dosage:

Poultice: Mustard is most commonly used as a poultice which can be made by mixing 100 grams (4 ounces) of freshly ground mustard seeds with warm water (at about 45 degrees C) to form a thick paste. This is spread on a piece of cloth the size of the body area that is to be covered. To stop the paste sticking to the skin, lay a dampened gauze on the skin. Apply the cloth and remove after l minute. The skin may be reddened by this treatment which can be eased by applying olive oil afterward.

Infusion: pour a cup of boiling water onto l teaspoonful of mustard flour and leave to infuse for 5 minutes. This may be drunk three times a day. Foot bath: make an infusion using 1 tablespoon of bruised seeds to l litre (2 pints) of boiling water.

Safety:

No information available. Some herbs are known to react with your medication. Please consult your physician before starting on any herb.

This is the one I have on hand and have made..

Garlic red wine vinegar is the star of this tangy dressing. The olive oil adds a fruity balance. The mustard gives it thickness.

The beauty of this dressing is how the ingredients all come together. The mustard unites the vinegar and the olive oil in a union of big flavor. You will see the sauce thicken and get glossy as you whisk in the oil. It's a beautiful thing.

Ingredients

1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard 2-1/2 Tbsp. garlic red wine vinegar 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce 2 dashes hot sauce 1/8 tsp. sea salt 1/4 tsp. black pepper 1/4 tsp. Old Bay seasoning 1/4 tsp. celery seed 1/4 c. extra virgin olive oil

Directions

In a mixing bowl whisk together mustard and vinegar until they are combined and the mixture is pink and liquid. Add Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt, pepper, Old Bay seasoning, and celery seed. Combine. Drizzle in the olive oil as slowly as you can while whisking briskly. It's easiest to work the whisk with your dominant hand while pouring with the less coordinated one. If the mixture starts to look oily, stop pouring and keep mixing, let it combine before streaming in any more olive oil. Taste before all of the olive oil is in and add more if it's too tart for your palate.

This makes enough for a dinner salad for someone who loves salad - which is easy to do if it's got this tart, spicy flavor on it - or for four small side salads

How about a mustard salad dressing? Now that we've been talking about it I have to go try and make some! Does it matter if it's yellow, brown, stoneground? Or do I want to use mustard powder? Shari

What is Old Bay seasoning?

And why are your messages coming with a Chrome attachment? Your page is very annoying to read. And when I click on the attachment it is a totally different look, font, color, everything!

That's what it says. Your messages are coming (started this week) with no paragraphs and fill the page from edge to edge. If I click on the attachment it's all very nicely done. Looks like a web page.

It isn't Suzi's email program, it's a problem, and is aware

of it. They've sent many emails out this week to group owner's

detailing the issue and saying they are trying to fix it.
