Mustard Oil to Treat Back Pain

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
Things You'll Need:

* Mustard oil
* Garlic



Find a reliable source for mustard oil, such as a health-food store that features a wide variety of herbs and herbal supplements. In the United States, mustard oil can only be sold for external use due to its relative toxicity.


Use the mustard oil topically, concentrating on the areas where your back pain is the most severe. Apply a smaller amount along the spine, working from the nape of the neck to the tip of the tailbone.


Allow the mustard oil to be completely absorbed into the skin. You may feel some discomfort, such as itchiness or warm sensations, but these are natural results of the anti-inflammatory properties of the mustard oil.


Mix garlic cloves with the mustard oil for an even more effective home remedy for treating back pain. Roast 10 to 12 garlic cloves with 3 to 4 tbsp. of the oil until the cloves are golden brown. Allow the oil to cool, and then apply it to the affected areas.


Avoid bathing for at least 3 hours after applying the oil, and then try to restrict the use of soaps and lotions. Soap and warm water can easily remove the oil from the skin before it has a chance to work.


Continue applying the mustard oil once a day for at least 2 weeks. If you do not experience a significant reduction in back pain, see your doctor immediately. Back pain may be a symptom of a much more serious medical condition, such as arthritis or kidney disease.


Use mustard oil for a variety of reasons other than to treat back pain. Mustard oil can also be used as a skin conditioner and to enhance blood circulation and muscle development. Mustard oil is also an effective antibacterial agent.

Here are some benefits of mustard seeds:

Regular massage with mustard oil promotes sweating which not only helps in lowering the body temperature but also removes toxins, excess water and salt. People with dry skin and hair, especially in winters can be benefited immensely. Moreover, after a good massage your blood circulation increases.

Another thing I would like to add here is that– you will never suffer from dryness all your winters by smothering mustard oil all over your body every time you take a bath. Moreover, If you are short on time then massage your body for 10 minutes and then shower. You will be benefited by its warming, antiseptic, carminative, antibacterial properties.

The presence of Allylisothiocyanate in mustard does not allow fungal growth and serves as an anti-fungal agent. Mustard paste applied externally is beneficial in the treatment of ring worms.

In case of sun burn, rub the area with mustard oil and leave it for some time. It will remove the tan and pull out the heat from the effected area providing relief from itching and redness.

To increase the growth of your hair, boil mustard oil with henna leaves in a tinned based utensil. Massage your hair with this oil can do wonders for your hair growth
