Mustard, one of the oldest and most widely used spices is your go-to zest. Mustard baths are a traditional remedy in England--used for the treatment of colds, stress, fatigued and achy muscles, fever and congestion. Mustard has been known to stimulate the sweat glands, opening the pores and helping the body rid itself of toxins. When this happens, circulation is improved, congestion is relieved and pain is eased.
