Mustard seed oil should be applied directly to the area where it hurts. This improves blood flow in the body and relieves the affected area of the pain. This is because of the high content of magnesium, omega-3 fats, and selenium in mustard seeds. These nutrients also help in improving inflammation and symptoms of arthritis.5

- To encourage blood flow: Add two to three drops of mustard essential oil in 1 tablespoon carrier oil such as coconut oil or olive oil. Use this mixture to massage parts of the body where you experience pain to increase blood flow to the muscles.
