The most aromatic and health-benefiting herb is horseradish (Armoracia rusticana). This herb originated in Asia and contains a high amount of vitamin C and provitamin A, as well as numerous minerals. Even in small amounts, horseradish stimulates the appetite, improves the functioning of the digestive system, alleviates coughs and airway infections, and even has a mild diuretic function. It also prevents diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. It boosts the immune system and can even protect the body from cold-induced diseases.
