BLACK MUSTARD.
Introduction
(Sinapis – sinapi, mustard.)
The seeds of both the black and white mustards are mixed to form our condiment, the former being dark brown and pungent, the latter yellow and less pungent.
Sinapis nig. was first proved by Dr. Clarence W. Butler, of Montclair, N.J., in 1872.
Symptoms
Our principal use for the remedy is in acute coryzas and hay-fever (88), with sneezing and lachrymation, itching and burning in nose and eyes, dryness of nose (39) or acrid discharge (37).
