Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Brassica species (such as mustard, cabbage, and related plants) have a long history of use in traditional medicine for a variety of ailments, including respiratory complaints and headaches related to sinus congestion. In various folk remedies, particularly in Europe and South Asia, poultices made from mustard seeds (Brassica nigra) or leaves have been applied externally to the chest or forehead to help alleviate symptoms of sinus headache. The warming and irritant properties of mustard poultices are believed to increase blood flow and provide temporary relief from congestion and headache discomfort. However, these uses are based largely on anecdotal evidence and traditional practices rather than robust scientific research. Modern clinical studies specifically evaluating Brassica species for the treatment of sinus headache are lacking, and no standardized preparations or dosages exist for this purpose in evidence-based medicine. Therefore, while there is a tradition of using Brassica in this context, the quality of supporting evidence is low and primarily historical rather than scientific.
