Horseradish is a perennial plant native to southeastern Europe and western Asia, and occationally found wild but usually cultivated in other parts of the world. The long, white, cylindrical or tapering root produces a 2- to 3-foot-high stem in the second year. The large basal leaves are lanceolate with scalloped edges; the stem leaves are much smaller, sessile, lanceolate, and serrate to entire. A panicle of numerous white flowers appears during June and July.

Diuretic, rubefacient, stomachic. The diuretic properties of fresh horseradish make it useful for gouty and rheumatic problems and also for bladder infections. For the latter, take 3 to 4 tbsp. a day of grated horseradish with wine vinegar and some grape sugar dextrose. For colitis and intestinal problems due to putrefaction, 15 to 20 drops of juice taken three times a day between meals will help. For catarrhal lung problems, coughs, and asthma, take horseradish combined with honey and raw sugar. Externally, horseradish is used as an irritant to stimulate blood flow; it can also be made into a poultice for rheumatism and into a bath additive for chilblains. CAUTION; Do not take large quantities of horseradish at one time. Stop taking it if diarrhea or night sweating occurs.
