Sinapis alba
White mustard with milder flavor than black mustard used for poultices, digestive stimulation, and respiratory conditions.
Sinapis alba (white mustard) is a culinary and medicinal herb traditionally used as a digestive stimulant, mild laxative, and topical poultice for respiratory congestion. Its primary active compounds include the glucosinolate sinalbin, the alkaloid sinapine, and the enzyme myrosinase, which upon hydrolysis yield 4-hydroxybenzyl isothiocyanate, a milder irritant than black mustard's allyl isothiocyanate. Modern evidence supports its use as a short-term topical circulatory stimulant and mild digestive aid, though clinical data remain limited.
The primary mechanism involves the hydrolysis of sinalbin by myrosinase upon tissue damage or mastication, releasing 4-hydroxybenzyl isothiocyanate. This compound activates transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, particularly TRPA1 and TRPV1, on sensory neurons, leading to local vasodilation, increased blood flow, and mild analgesic effects. Orally, the pungent compounds stimulate gastric secretions via bitter taste receptors (TAS2Rs) and enhance gut motility through cholinergic pathways. The mild laxative effect is attributed to increased peristalsis and mucosal irritation at higher doses.
