Besides eating sushi and sashimi, what else can you do with wasabi? Think a little harder, and you'll find that this green, spicy thing has at least five other special uses. You'll find out after reading the following text.
Relieve joint inflammation
Whether it's finger pain or muscle pain in your hand, just smear wasabi all over your hand, and the pain will be greatly reduced. If you have body aches, add 6 tablespoons of wasabi and a handful of salt to your bathtub, and soak for 20 minutes to relieve the pain.
Ward off colds
Although rubbing wasabi on you might make you smell like a cheap hot dog, when you have a stuffy nose at night, apply two tablespoons of wasabi to your chest before bed, and you'll be able to breathe freely all night.
Promote digestion
It's not just for Japanese food; you can add wasabi to any dish. And if you eat it consistently every day instead of just occasionally, it can help prevent indigestion.
Relieve fatigue
Soaking your feet in hot water at night is great for relieving foot fatigue, but if you add 3 tablespoons of wasabi to the hot water and soak for 10 minutes, the effect is even better.
Keep pests away
Perhaps there's a cat in heat near your yard, wandering around your house and keeping you awake. A good way to drive it away is to place a dish in an area where it frequently appears. In the dish, mix 2 tablespoons of chili powder, 3 tablespoons of wasabi, and 5 tablespoons of flour, then add enough water to make a paste. This will ensure the cat stays far away from your home.
