The use of mustard oil in various diseases

And now let's look at recipes for using oil to treat various diseases.

For colds

Different types of colds, including pneumonia, bronchitis, tonsillitis, affect to one degree or another the same organs in the human body and are accompanied by the same symptoms. How to treat the respiratory organs with this oil, how to alleviate your condition?

For various types of runny nose, sinusitis, sinusitis, rub this oil several times a day on the right and left places near the nose, above the eyebrows and at the temples. The last time the procedure is good to carry out at night. Also, to supplement and enhance the effect, warm up the described places with heated salt placed in a bag, or a hot boiled egg.

With otitis media or pain in the ear, oil can be instilled into the sore ear with oil (2-3 drops). But do not forget that after instillation, you should place a piece of cotton wool in the ear canal and lie down with the sore ear up so that the oil does not spill out.

It is even better to make a warm compress: drip slightly warmed oil into the sore ear, place a piece of cotton wool in the ear canal, cover the ear with a cotton cloth on top and warm it. Fix the compress, for which you can use a bandage.

With sprains, dislocations, bruises, in which there is no damage to the skin, rubbing the sore spot with a mixture of mustard oil and alcohol, which can be bought at a pharmacy, has a good effect.

I suggest watching a video that doctors say about the beneficial properties, benefits and dangers of mustard oil.

Mustard oil. Harm

Can the use of this oil harm the body? Before we talk about contraindications, there is one point that I would like to draw your attention to. There are a large number of people, including those on social networks, who claim that mustard oil can cause irreparable harm to the human heart due to the presence of erucic acid in it, which is present in large quantities in unrefined mustard oil, is not excreted from the body, accumulating in it, and has a devastating effect on the heart.

This statement is based on experiments that were carried out back in the 70s of the last century on mice. For a long time, the results of this study were accepted as proven truth. But then other studies were carried out, and repeated ones, which found that mustard oil acts differently on the body of mice and humans and erucic acid does not threaten our hearts.

Despite this, there is no unambiguous view on this issue so far. Therefore, special varieties of mustard with a low or even zero content of erucic acid were bred.

In Russia, there is GOST 8807-94, according to which edible mustard oil cannot contain more than 5% erucic acid in its composition.

However, knowing about this danger, buy mustard oil only from trusted manufacturers and in original packaging to avoid fakes.

Harm mustard oil can be for those who use it a lot. This is a high-calorie product, so follow the instructions for the daily dosage of the oil.

Contraindications

It should be used with great care when:

• gastritis with high acidity of gastric juice,
• stomach and duodenal ulcers,
• enterocolitis.

Oil can cause allergic reactions in people prone to them, both internally and externally. Therefore, before using oils externally, a tolerance test should be done.

Although there are recommendations for the use of mustard oil by pregnant and lactating women, I would still advise you to consult a doctor you trust. Also, check with your pediatrician before using the oil on a child.

Due to the uncertainty regarding erucic acid, it is also best for people suffering from heart disease to consult a cardiologist regarding the intake of mustard oil for greater safety.

And for the soul, we will listen today Nani Bregvadze Viburnum is bitter . Recording from a concert in honor of the 15th anniversary of the Gordon Boulevard newspaper.

Mustard oil It is made from mustard seeds of three types: white, gray and black. The exact time when mustard cultivation began is not known for certain, but there are even mentions of mustard seeds in the Bible.

In Europe, mustard has been known since the time of ancient Greek civilization, but it was grown as a crop and mustard oil was produced from seeds much later.

Mustard was brought to Russia only in the eighteenth century. In 1765, in the modern Volgograd region, Catherine II founded the city of Sarepta, the first settlers of which were the Germans. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the German Konrad Neitz developed a new variety of mustard, which was later called Sarepta, he also developed the first Russian technology for processing mustard seeds into oil. In 1810, a mustard oil mill was opened in Sarepta. Closer to the middle of the nineteenth century, Sarep mustard oil and powder were recognized as the best in the world.

The process of processing mustard seeds into oil can be of two types: pressing (hot or cold pressing) and extraction (extracting a substance from a solution using special solvents).

Mustard oil production

The production of mustard oil consists of several stages and the first is the preparation of seeds. First, mustard seeds are processed from impurities using special equipment..

Spin

Cold pressed technology dates back to ancient times to the present. It is used to produce a product of high quality and environmentally friendly. However, this method does not allow to extract more than 70% of oils from raw materials.

Often in many industries, hot pressing technology is used, which makes it possible to produce up to ninety percent of the oil. It takes place in two stages:

1. Primary pressing converting seeds into oil and cake.
2. Secondary pressing, which leaves almost no oil content in the cake.

Then comes extraction. This method of obtaining oil has been known since the end of the nineteenth century, the Germans were the first to come up with it. It is based on the method of extracting oil from seeds using special solvents. The solvent, penetrating inside the seed cells, brings the oils out.

Oil cleaning

Refining the oil (or distillation) drives the solvent out of the oil, resulting in unrefined mustard oil.

To get refined oil, it must go through the following stages of purification:

• Hydration.
• Refining.
• Neutralization.
• Freezing.
• Deodorization.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to prepare mustard oil at home, since this process involves the use of special equipment.

Benefit and harm to the body

Mustard oil has a lot of useful elements for the human body. Among them are vitamins A, B, D, E and K, as well as minerals, fatty acids such as Omega-3 and Omega-6. In addition, the content of these acids in mustard oil is very balanced, unlike sunflower oil, in which Omega-6 is contained in excess, and Omega-3, on the contrary, is very small, which is not very good for health.

Mustard oil can harm people who have increased stomach acidity, disturbed heart rhythm, have colitis and pancreatitis.

Like any other product, mustard oil must be consumed in moderation, otherwise it can harm even a perfectly healthy person.

How to choose and store mustard oil?

When choosing mustard oil, it is very important to pay attention to the label and the information it contains, as well as the appearance of the contents of the bottle. Quality oil should be:

• First pressing.
• With sediment.
• Unspoiled (shelf life no more than 12 months).

You can store mustard oil after you have opened the bottle only in the refrigerator with the lid tightly screwed on.

Application in cooking

Mustard oil is used in cooking as an alternative to sunflower oil. Most often it is used for cooking various dishes:

• It is fried and stewed.
• Used in salads as a dressing.
• Used as an additive in pickles and preserves.
• Add to baked goods.

Mustard oil has been widely used in cooking around the world, but you should not abuse it, the daily norm of such oil for a person is 1-1.5 tablespoons.

Mustard became known to people in ancient Greece. Local healers assured that the product is able to heal almost any ailment. Today, mustard has an extensive circle of fans who love it for its unique flavor. Few people know that seed-based oil can bring tremendous benefits to the human body.

Chemical composition

Mustard oil is famous for its impressive chemical list of the most valuable enzymes that have a healing effect on humans. It has been scientifically proven to be effective in many areas.

Mustard vegetable product includes in its composition a valuable substance in the form of fatty polyunsaturated Omega-3, 6 acids. Enzymes are involved in the normal functioning of organs. The raw material contains saturated eicosanoic acid and esters.

Mustard is rich in B-group vitamins, tocopherol, vitamin D, retinol. The maximum accumulation of iron and calcium in mustard vegetable oil was revealed. The product is valued for the presence of sinigrin, myosin, sinalbin.

If you pay attention to such an extensive valuable list of elements, you can understand that the calorie content of the oil will be high. The accumulation of fatty acids significantly raises the performance. So, in 100 gr. concentrated about 847 kcal.

Benefits of the Elements

1. Tocopherol. The notorious vitamin E, known as a fat-soluble component. It has been proven that in 100 gr. The product contains about 30 mg. tocopherol. A similar indicator can be equated to a double daily norm for an adult organism. It's no secret that the enzyme is considered the most powerful antioxidant. Tocopherol easily removes poisonous and toxic compounds from the body. In addition, vitamin E is needed for the stable functioning of a woman's body. Tocopherol rejuvenates tissues at the cellular level, quickly heals wounds, normalizes blood clotting, strengthens venous and arterial membranes and reduces bad cholesterol.
2. B group vitamins. Such enzymes are indispensable for the full functioning of the central nervous system. Experts strongly advise including oil in the daily diet for people who have no contraindications. The product, when taken correctly, improves memory and controls brain activity.
3. Vitamin F. The enzyme is formed due to the interaction of Omega acids (3 and 6). Vitamin is responsible for the stable functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and thyroid gland. The enzyme has a beneficial effect on the metabolism of fatty compounds in the body. In addition, vitamin F protects heart tissue from the effects of toxic compounds.
4. Sinigrin. A rather rare substance that can be found in familiar products. Sinigrin is found in mustard oil and is a powerful anticarcinogenic agent. The enzyme inhibits the formation of pathogenic cancer cells. Thus, the body is protected from the development of cancerous tumors of all human organs.
5. Retinol. It is known that vitamin A is indispensable for improving human visual functions. In addition, retinol has a positive effect on the skin, mucous membranes and protective membranes of a person.
6. Vitamin B6. The substance increases all metabolic processes and stabilizes the central nervous system. Vitamin B6 improves the activity of the reproductive system of women and men (reproductive function increases).
7. Phytosterols. Active biological substances in science are often referred to as plant hormones. They improve the condition of the skin, resist the formation of tumors and cancer cells. Plant hormones have a bactericidal effect. Often, the substance is used to treat cancer and diseases of the prostate, endocrine and cardiovascular systems.
8. Vitamin K. A microelement in science is commonly called an antihemorrhagic enzyme. It suppresses the development of hemorrhages, which can occur against the background of low blood clotting. Vitamin K helps the body absorb calcium from foods, which is essential for building bones. Also, the substance has a beneficial effect on the activity of the kidneys.
9. Choline. Responsible for brain activity, actively produces phospholipids. The latter prevent the formation of fatty infiltration of the liver.
10. Niacin. The enzyme is involved in energy metabolism, which occurs directly in the body. Niacin is vital for the smooth functioning of the nervous system. The element controls the activity of the digestive tract and helps the production of sex hormones.
11. Vitamin D The element must be supplied to the body in order to maintain proper levels of phosphorus and calcium. The latter compounds are involved in filling voids in bones and tissue growth. If you systematically consume oil, you will avoid the formation of rickets and osteoporosis. Thus, the product compensates for the lack of vitamin D in the cold season. The substance stabilizes the thyroid gland, prevents the appearance of pathologies. Such processes can lead to the development of cardiovascular and dermatological ailments.
12. The rest of the ingredients. Esters, chlorophyll and phytoncides have a protective effect against tumors and bacteria. Also, trace elements improve the activity of the digestive tract, thyroid gland, blood vessels, and heart.

If you want to use the oil externally, do a small test on a small area of ​​your skin. Apply the product to the dermis, follow the reaction. Thus, you will determine whether you have an individual intolerance to the product. In the case of using the product for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes, it is strongly recommended to consult a doctor first.

Video: about the history and benefits of mustard oil

Few people have heard of the existence of mustard oil. Its useful properties were discovered and presented to the world by the healers of ancient China and India.

Now it is mainly used by culinary specialists for the preparation of various spicy and spicy dishes to give it a rich and refined taste. Mustard oil is obtained by cold pressing mustard seeds. Its different varieties contain from 30 to 50% oil. At the beginning of the 19th century, the benefits of mustard oil in Russia were evaluated by a new variety at that time - Sarepta mustard.

Mustard oil: benefits and harms, how to take it and in what doses - these topics will require a long explanation. In our article, we will briefly describe these points to you.

Mustard seed oil is 98% fatty. According to the results of chemical and biological studies, it was ranked among the reference oils in terms of the content of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Mustard oil also contains fat- and water-soluble vitamins, phytoncides and glycosides.

Monounsaturated fatty acids

They normalize the level of total plasma cholesterol, protecting the heart and blood vessels from atherosclerosis and, as a result, ischemia. They also strengthen the immune system and prevent the occurrence of neoplasms.

Polyunsaturated fatty acids

They have anti-inflammatory, analgesic and healing effects. Directly affect the development of the nervous and circulatory systems, improve skin condition.

Fat soluble vitamins

Vitamin A actively participates in the synthesis of the constituent components of the connective tissue, as well as hyaluronic acid. These effects determine the strength and elasticity of bone, cartilage and skin. In addition, it is a catalyst in the synthesis of heparin, a liver anticoagulant that controls blood clotting processes.

Vitamin A affects the production and activity of sex hormones, various antibodies (interferons, immunoglobulins), activates receptors for the active form of vitamin D - calcitriol. It is also involved in the synthesis of the main visual pigment - rhodopsin, contained in the rods of the retina, which is responsible for twilight vision.

Vitamin D helps the intestines absorb calcium from food. Thus, these two substances in the complex are responsible for the normal growth and development of the body's bone tissue - the spine, bones, teeth, as well as skin appendages - nails and hair. The absorption of sufficient amounts of calcium under the control of vitamin D is very important for the optimal functioning of muscle fibers, because calcium is the main stimulator of muscle contraction. It is also involved in the regulation of vascular tone, blood coagulation and the endocrine system.

Vitamin E protects cell walls from damage by free radicals, replacing holes in the cell membrane, preventing oxygen from penetrating there. It also controls the synthesis of nucleic acids - DNA and RNA, myosin ATPase (responsible for muscle contraction), as well as heme - the iron-containing part of erythrocyte hemoglobin.

Water Soluble Vitamins

Vitamin B3 is responsible for an adequate ratio of atherogenic and anti-atherogenic lipid fractions - low and very low density lipoproteins and high density lipoproteins, respectively. In doses exceeding the daily dose, vitamin B3 reduces the amount of plasma cholesterol and triglycerides. It also expands the capillaries, primarily of the brain, improving microcirculation, is an indirect anticoagulant and has a detoxifying effect.

Vitamin B4 is a hepatoprotector, improving metabolic processes in it and preventing the development of visceral hepatic obesity. It accelerates the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, regulates the production of insulin by the pancreas, as well as the production of active viable spermatozoa.

Vitamin B6 participates in the metabolism of amino acids and the construction of protein molecules. Improves neuromuscular transmission, hemoglobin synthesis and production of red blood cells, leads to a state of equilibrium balance of sodium and potassium, improving the functioning of the central and peripheral nervous system.

Mustard oil, the benefits and harms of which are determined by its quality and quantitative content of nutrients, can be taken according to the following indications:

• infectious and non-infectious cholecystitis;
• cholelithiasis;
• hepatitis;
• cirrhosis of the liver;
• prostate adenoma, prostatitis, prostate adenocarcinoma;

Before using mustard seed oil, in the presence of any diseases, as well as allergies to any substances, consult your doctor. It is he who will be able to evaluate all the pros and cons, as well as indicate the compatibility of mustard oil with the drugs you are taking.

This is very important so that there is no cross-allergy or the condition is not worsened by the components of the oil.

In addition, you will need to decide on the route of delivery of nutrients: inside or locally. Lotions, pastes and applications with mustard oil are useful and do not harm in diseases of the skin, muscles and joints.

In other cases, preference is given to internal intake with warm water or taken as part of salads and other dishes.

See as a seed, powder, or prepared seasoning.
