Black mustard, Brassica nigra, is an annual botanical plant in the Brassicaceae family. It is widely cultivated for its pungent seeds, which are used as a spice or ground to make condiments.

Mustard owes its pungent taste to the presence ofallyl isothiocyanate, which is formed when the seeds are crushed. In fact, like all Brassicaceae, black mustard contains glucosinolates (compounds responsible for the "cabbage smell"), which, when the seeds are crushed, break down in contact with an enzyme (myrosinase) present in other cell compartments, releasing allyl isothiocyanate.

Black mustard seeds are traditionally used ground or in the form of flour to make warming poultices to soothe rheumatic pains or combat coughs and bronchitis.

Mustard oil, obtained by cold pressing mustard seeds, also contains a small amount of allyl isothiocyanate, which gives it its warming power and characteristic pungent smell.

There are several types of mustard, named according to the colour of the seeds. Black mustard produces a highly aromatic oil that is more pungent than yellow or white mustard.

Used in the Ayurvedic tradition, this oil is highly reputed for hair care, and is recommended for promoting hair growth and combating hair loss, as well as for combating dandruff. It is even said to have the power to prevent premature whitening of the hair! Its richness in erucic acid, a long-chain fatty acid, also makes it an excellent sheathing and protective active ingredient for the lengths and ends. In skin care, it is reputed to stimulate microcirculation, producing a warming and toning effect. In body products, it is particularly popular for warming massages for sportspeople.
