that my great-grandmother used mustard plasters on her back. There are many
recipes for mustard poultices, are applied to aching joints. However, if you
need a blood circulation supply on larger area, or you do not have anyone who
help you to apply mustard compresses to less accessible places, you can test
the simple mustard bath. It's up to you if you take it as a total, in case of
back pain or just as a sitz bath which is recommended to
those that would be excessive blood flow to the upper body can cause nausea,
for example persons with high blood pressure or heart disease.
Grind coarsely 400 g of mustard seeds and pour 2 liters of lukewarm water (about 40 ° C). Let steep for 30 minutes, then strain and pour into a bath of body temperature. The stay in the bath should not last longer than 15 minutes.
