Mustard, horseradish and vinegar with honey for coughs

Mustard has proven itself as a remedy that actively stimulates receptors, mucous membranes, causes hyperemia and improves local blood circulation. As a result, swelling is quickly eliminated, inflammation is relieved. Irritation of receptors promotes intensive discharge of sputum from mucous membranes, as a result of which the bronchi and nasopharynx are cleared of mucus faster, and accordingly, a person recovers faster.

Mustard can be used both externally and internally. Various compresses, cakes, mustard plasters with honey, honey-mustard massage and wraps have proven themselves well. For internal use, decoctions, mixtures, infusions, purees with the addition of mustard and honey are used. Also, for a long time, feet have been steamed to treat bronchitis and wet cough.
