Horseradish-Good for Your Nose

Mention horseradish and the first thing that may come to your mind is hot; but did you know that heat not only adds spice to your food but helps you breathe better.

Even though there are not any specific studies per se it is well known in the herb world for its ability to dissolve mucus. One of the components in horseradish is “allyl isothiocyanate” works to stimulate nerves in the nose and thin out mucus.

David Juan, MD with Doctors Health Press, has had more than 30 years of medical experience and extensive knowledge of vitamins, minerals, nutrient research, and nutrient interactions recomends the following.

To dissolve micus in your nose try grating fresh horseradish root and taking three grams (about a teaspoon) of it at a time, up to three times a day.    

The only side effect may be a couple of tears.
