Natural washing powder! We make it ourselves ;) And an excellent natural bleach from... mustard :)

Dry carbon dioxide baths belong to the category of effective, inexpensive procedures available for intensive treatment of patients in boarding houses, sanatoriums and resorts in most regions of Russia.

Contraindications to carrying out health activities using the active component - carbon dioxide - are practically reduced to a minimum. A course of several therapeutic sessions is aimed at preventing possible diseases and completely healing the body.

The world learned about the procedure for using medicinal gas back in the 18th century. At many foreign resorts, patients were offered to “plunge” into a healing cloud with the help of mafets. The principle of its operation was very simple: the gas was mixed with water vapor directly at the source, and then used to treat vacationers.

Soon Kislovodsk also adopted the experience of foreign colleagues. At the initiative of the head of the Caucasus Mineral Waters Smirnov, patients of the popular resort also recovered in a similar way. The gas was diverted through pipes into the room intended for the treatment session and directed into an improvised bath - a box with a hole for the head. This is how the healing process was carried out. Only in the second half of the twentieth century did it become possible to control the supply of the active substance in the required volume and concentration using new equipment.

How does carbon dioxide affect the body?

A dry bath with carbon dioxide differs from the classical procedure in that it does not contain a water component. The dry procedure allows you to significantly expand the range of beneficial effects on the body for various diseases.

Carbon dioxide, along with oxygen, participates in respiratory processes and improves metabolism. If its content in the body decreases, the supply of oxygen to the tissues from the capillaries becomes difficult. Consequently, important metabolic processes are inhibited.

Carbon dioxide provides vasodilation and has a beneficial effect on the digestive tract and other vital organs.

In modern sanatoriums and dispensaries, special equipment is used to conduct a therapeutic session: a bathtub with a designed design for supplying hydrogen dioxide. The dosage of gas is strictly controlled, a heating system and a carbon dioxide humidifier are provided.

Stages of taking a dry bath:

• The required temperature regime is set in the tank for the procedure;
• The patient, wearing a bathing suit or underwear, takes a comfortable position when immersed in the bath. The head is located outside the container, above a special cutout for the neck, without the possibility of carbon dioxide entering the airways;
• Within 3 minutes the capsule is filled with gas. At the end of the procedure, the hood is turned on to remove the carbon dioxide mixture.

This procedure allows the patient to completely relax and unwind. During the treatment, no negative sensations are observed - only slight tingling and comfortable warmth spreading throughout the body.

About the quality of mustard

Vigorous, spicy, hot, sweet... This is all mustard, it deservedly takes pride of place on any table, perfect for meat, fish, vegetable dishes, for appetizers and sandwiches, sandwiches and pizza. The source of this famous aromatic ready-made seasoning is the inconspicuous, at first glance, mustard seeds, which conceal powerful powers.

Let's figure out what whole mustard seasoning is and how to choose the right quality mustard seed.

Mustard is a spicy-aromatic annual plant, 40-50 cm high. The stems are straight, branched, glabrous. The leaves are simple and become smaller as they go up the stem. The flowers are collected in corymbose racemes, yellow in color. The fruit is a linear pod, thin, with intertwining veins on the valves and a thin nose. The seeds are small, spherical, black-gray, brown or pale yellow. It blooms in May, the fruits ripen in June.

Mustard is commonly referred to as three different aromatic annual plants belonging to the same cabbage family (Brassicaceae). Botanists consider only one real mustard - white, it belongs to the genus Mustard (Sinapis alba), the other two plants - black mustard (Brassica nigra) and brown mustard (gray) or often called Sarepta (Brassica juncea) belong to the genus Cabbage (Brassica ). Sarepta dark mustard is usually called Indian Sarepta, light mustard - simply Sarepta. Moreover, the darker the grains, the sharper the taste of the finished seasoning will be.

How to choose mustard seeds

High-quality white mustard seeds are large (about 3 mm in diameter), light yellow or whitish-yellow, and, as a rule, are sold already peeled from the upper, yellow-brown shell.

The seeds of high-quality brown (Sarepta, Indian) mustard are smaller (1.5-2 mm in diameter) than the seeds of white mustard. They are sold unshelled, which preserves the taste and aromatic properties of the seed and increases its shelf life. Color varies from light brown to dark brown.

In recent decades, breeders have developed a variety of Sarepta mustard with a low content of the hull - it consists of small yellow seeds and allows you to obtain products of a pleasant yellow color without destroying the hull.

Seeds of high-quality black (French) mustard are slightly smaller than Sarepta mustard grains and have a shade from dark brown to blue-black. Black mustard is less productive.

High-quality mustard seeds should have a characteristic natural color of the same shade. The seeds should be approximately the same size, clean, dry, without foreign impurities. As a rule, the presence of debris, crushed or split seeds, seeds of uneven color, infested with pests indicates poor storage, which can cause seed spoilage.

Quality of mustard seeds

it is also very easy to determine by taste. High-quality mustard seeds have almost no odor, so any strange odors, and especially rancid taste, indicate that the seeds are spoiled.

White mustard seeds have a weaker, sweetish taste; when chewed, the pungency is felt more on the tip of the tongue.

The brown seeds are slightly bitter at first, and then a strong burning taste appears; when chewed, they act directly on the nasal cavity.

Black seeds combine these features: they taste sharp, hot and spicy.

The pungent, pungent aroma in mustard seeds is contained in the form of components - enzymes and glycosides. When the structure of the seed is destroyed in combination with water, a chemical reaction is triggered, forming essential oils (1-3%) for which mustard is so valued.

Mustard seeds

contains a large amount of fatty oils (in white and black varieties - up to 35%, and in Sarepta up to 45-49%), so when crushing high-quality mustard seeds, a greasy mark remains on a sheet of paper.

High-quality mustard seeds are hard and retain their shape well. If the grains simply crumble when rubbed in your hand, then they are old and all the oil has evaporated from them.

Mustard seeds are also rich in protein, fatty oils and high quality Omega 3 and 6 acids, B vitamins, potassium, zinc, magnesium, iron, calcium and sodium.

Mustard seeds are stored in fabric bags or in tightly closed opaque containers.

Mustard powder: how to determine quality

Mustard seeds are used primarily to produce mustard oil, which is obtained by cold pressing to preserve essential oils that are unstable at elevated temperatures.

The method for producing mustard powder includes cleaning mustard seeds, conditioning for moisture and seed size, separating the shell from the kernel, grinding it, moisture-heat treatment, pressing, grinding the cake and sifting.

Quality mustard powder

has a uniform light yellowish-brown color that does not darken when rubbed with water, a finely divided structure, without signs of mold, soaking or drying after soaking.

High-quality mustard powder has a bitter taste and smell characteristic of mustard powder; foreign odors are not allowed.

Mustard powder is used: for preparing ready-made table mustard, sauces, spicy mixtures, soups, okroshka and mayonnaise; for preserving and increasing the shelf life of products; for the production of medical mustard plasters; cosmetics and bathing.

It is better not to store dry mustard powder for a long time, as its aroma quickly dissipates. If the seasoning is stored correctly - in a dry, dark place, at a relative humidity of no more than 75% and a temperature of no more than 20 0C, the shelf life is 12 months.

Ready mustard: determining the quality of table mustard

There are a lot of recipes for whole grain mustard and mustard powder. For variety, various spices, herbs and flavorings are used, such as parsley, red and black pepper, garlic, horseradish, honey, apple and fruit purees, etc. The production of aromatic seasoning is limited only by the imagination and conscientiousness of the producers.

When choosing mustard, first of all, you should focus on the composition of the seasoning. High-quality mustard consists only of natural products. Do not take mustard if it contains chemical additives, flavorings or starches.

Ready-made high-quality mustard should have a uniform consistency and color; if a dark dry crust, oil stains, separation or bubbles appear on the surface, then the product is spoiled. If the finished mustard has a sour, musty, moldy or uncharacteristic smell for mustard, or its complete absence, then you should avoid using such a seasoning.

When choosing mustard, pay attention to the country of origin, as the taste and spiciness of the seasoning depends on this. Thus, Russian and Polish seasonings are recognized as hot mustard. European and American mustards have a soft, delicate taste.

Ready mustard is stored in a cool, dark place for no more than 45 days at a temperature of 10 degrees.

Mustard in glass jars should be stored away from direct sunlight. Otherwise, it will quickly lose its taste and smell. If the mustard has dried out, then to restore its taste you need to add a little vegetable oil.

Making your own mustard: recipes

Many ready-made mustard seasonings eliminate the need to prepare it yourself, but how can they compare with mustard prepared according to all the rules from powder or whole seeds?

We recommend trying to prepare mustard according to the classic recipe, and for those who like it “spicier” - the recipe for “Homemade Early Ripening” mustard
