We do not use the juice of horseradish, its ethers are quite potent and powerful enough when the horseradish is finely ground or triturated (pulverized). The effect of taking one half a teaspoonful of the triturated (pulverized) horseradish will leave an indelible impression on the memory and a dissolving reaction on the mucus in the sinus cavities.

Horseradish can also be used as a poultice for rheumatic and arthritic conditions. The historical herbalist Culpepper said, "If Bruised and laid to a part grieved with the sciatica, gout, joint-ache or hard swellings of the spleen and liver, it doth wonderfully help them all."

Horseradish is one of the most prolific stimulant herbs there is, especially to the digestive organs (dried root), kidneys, skin and circulation. It will give pleasant warmth in the stomach, relieves the gall ducts, stimulate alvine (intestinal) action, and increase the flow of urine. Caution: do not use this herb during pregnancy.

To cultivate horseradish all you need is a piece of the root about an inch long and as big around as a pencil. Plant about an inch deep in a place where it can grow year after year.
