You can use mustard seeds as a spice in cooking or heat mustard oil for applying to the chest. Topical application with one tablespoon of warm oil may reduce inflammation and provide relief, but further studies are needed to prove the benefits. Doing a patch test is always a good idea. It's worth noting that some individuals may be allergic to mustard and that pure mustard oil is banned in North America and Europe.
