If you’ve ever eaten horseradish, you know that it can make your eyes water and your nose run. That’s an excellent thing if you think about what it can do to the mucus that may be sitting around in your respiratory system. Horseradish is an expectorant. It stimulates mucus secretions in the sinuses and the lungs, so it can help to treat bronchitis, cough, the common cold, and sinusitis. Studies show that compared to conventional antibiotics, horseradish does just as good a job in clearing up acute sinusitis and bronchitis.
