Rating (out of 5): 1

Mustard, commonly derived from the seeds of plants in the Brassica family (such as black, brown, or yellow mustard), has a history of use in traditional medicine systems, including Ayurveda and folk remedies. Historically, mustard preparations—often in the form of mustard seeds, mustard oil, or mustard plasters—have been used for a variety of ailments, primarily for respiratory issues, muscle pain, and digestive problems. Regarding nausea and vomiting, there is some traditional use recorded, particularly as an emetic (to induce vomiting in cases of poisoning) rather than as an anti-nausea remedy. In folk medicine, mustard seeds have sometimes been used to "settle the stomach" or stimulate digestion, but such uses are not widely documented or standardized. Scientific research examining mustard's efficacy for treating or preventing nausea and vomiting is lacking. No clinical trials or robust pharmacological studies have established a mechanism or proof of benefit for mustard in this context. Modern medical literature and major pharmacopoeias do not recognize mustard as a treatment for nausea or vomiting. Thus, any support for its use in this context rests on sporadic traditional accounts rather than validated scientific evidence.
