Nasturtium has been valued for years for its numerous medicinal properties, which is why it is mainly used in herbal medicine. Nasturtium flowers contain  large amounts of mineral salts, sulfur, vitamin C, beta-carotene, lutein, flavonoids  (often called the “elixir of youth”),  fatty acids , and  essential oils . Here we can find, among others, benzyl isothiocyanate  with bactericidal and fungicidal properties , as well as myrosinase – an enzyme responsible for   virucidal and bactericidal properties .

Currently, edible nasturtium is used in alternative medicine as  a natural antibiotic  for bacteria responsible for respiratory diseases (it helps in treating coughs and expectorating phlegm, among other things), and also as  an agent with antiseptic properties . How else can garden nasturtium help us?

Nasturtium as a natural antibiotic

Due to  its strong antibacterial properties,  nasturtium  helps fight bacteria such as Staphylococcus and streptococci  responsible for throat diseases and bronchitis. Interestingly, regular consumption of nasturtium can  also prevent the formation of Salmonella bacteria , as well as  treat urinary tract and kidney diseases .

Nasturtium to strengthen the body’s immunity

Nasturtium is an excellent  source of vitamin C , which has a beneficial effect on our blood vessels and increases the immunity of the entire body. People who suffer from recurrent respiratory infections (including those suffering from scurvy) are advised to drink nasturtium juice, which helps strengthen their immunity.

Nasturtium for constipation

If we struggle with digestive problems, dried nasturtium buds can serve  as an effective laxative that is safe for the bacterial flora of the digestive system.
