Let me share something very special. Every morning when I came out ,I was greeted with this beautiful Green and Yellow field right in front of my house.

The vibrant Free &Yellow natural colour makes my day bright gives a lively feeling all throughout the day. This Green leafes and Yellow flower is Mustard field. The sight of these greenary gives a soothing feeling to my eyes . Mustard is not a staple crop in our area but it has been widely used in every part of India. The one oil which has immense use across many parts in form of Cooking as well as Body Massaging.

Mustard seeds we get from these plants will further be processed into Oil. Even though people of India have shifted their taste to Olive or Sunflower or Soya oils. Mustard remain a king in many Indian kitchen for long.

Still our Granny's and Aged people prefer to give Mustard Oil masaage to new borne babies. The traditonal approach is very effective. Mustard oil has following benefits on babies as well on adults.

Few days ago I was affected stiff headache due to cold and was sneezing a lot, when Mom asked me to put some Garlic mix Mustard oil on head. and I felt quite relieved and light next morning. This inspires me to write the post and I believe it is quite helpful even if you do not use it in Food.

Beware, it is bit sticky on your skin but having many medicinal benefits.

I am in dillema if the early morning picturesque surrounding helps me rejuvinate or the oil massage i use to get every night. I think I am happy with both.😊
