Nasturtium contains antibacterial substances that boost the immune system and help cure flu and colds. It is anti-inflammatory, and is recommended for treating inflammation of the kidneys, intestines, ear and tonsils. It also has expectorant properties, helping to clear nasal and bronchial secretions. Nasturtium seeds are a highly effective antibiotic against micro-organisms such as staphylococcus, salmonella and streptococcus. Fresh juice from the plant can be used to combat urinary tract and bronchial infections, at a dose of 30-50 g per day. Leaves and flowers can be eaten raw in cases of avitaminosis.
