Brown Mustard Seed | Digestive Fire & Immune Defense
The Remedy:
Brown Mustard Seed (Brassica juncea)—also known as Indian Mustard and in Spanish Semilla de Mostaza Marrón—is a strongly warming, pungent seed traditionally used to support digestion, immune defense, circulation, and metabolic activation. Rich in glucosinolates, allyl isothiocyanates, selenium, and antioxidant compounds, brown mustard ignites digestive fire while helping the body defend against microbial imbalance.
Commonly used to support sluggish digestion, bloating, gas, poor appetite, mucus congestion, cold conditions, joint stiffness, and immune weakness, brown mustard seed is valued for its stimulating, dispersing, and protective properties.
Enjoyed as a whole seed, powder, tea, poultice, or culinary spice, brown mustard seed provides bold digestive support and immune-strengthening warmth.
