How to Use Mustard Oil During Winter
Cold, Cough and Congestion – Dust, dryness and cold temperatures all add to cold & coughs during winter. Mustard oil has a warm effect which helps to release congestion in the respiratory tract.
Joint Pains – It is often observed that in cold weather, the human body conserves more heat, and more blood is circulated to the heart and lungs. When this happens, arms, shoulders, knees, and blood vessels can constrict and cause pain. Thanks to its powerful anti-inflammatory and stimulating properties, mustard oil helps improve blood circulation.
Cracked Heels – The warm-natured magnesium-rich oil when applied on moist cracked heels help retain moisture and heal the cracks making the surface smooth and soft. The oil promotes hydration and acts as a quick and super healthy healing aid for cracked heels.
Hair Loss- The cold winds of winter bring havoc to the tresses, leading to hair loss and the development of split ends. With dry air and more so with the use of hats, hairdryers, and other heat treatments, hair tends to become dry, frizzy, and coarse. Massaging the scalp with mustard oil in winter stimulates hair growth by improving blood flow to the scalp. It is rich in vitamins and minerals, particularly rich in beta-carotene, which is great for hair growth when it is converted to vitamin A in the body.
