Description:<\/strong> Brown mustard seeds come from the mustard plant, which has small yellow flowers when in bloom, and green leaves whose size depends on the specific variety (“Brassica Juncea”). Mustard seeds can also come from black mustard (Brassica nigra)<\/em> and white mustard (Sinapis alba<\/em>) plants (Cumo, 2013).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Historical medicinal use:<\/strong> Marie de Fouquet suggests combining mustard seeds and figs to create a plaster to help with gout, a type of inflammatory arthritis (Fouquet, 1685).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modern medicinal use:<\/strong> Recent studies suggest that mustard has a variety of health benefits, including protecting against infections and lowering blood sugar levels (Petre, 2020).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
